Turning a list of strings into a single string in clojure

For example, let's say I have a list

'("The" " " "Brown" " " "Cow")

I want to turn this into

"The Brown Cow"

Is there a command in clojure that does this?

Solution

  • As Chris mentioned you can just use clojure.string/join

    another way without using a library (assuming you don't want any spaces.) is:

    (reduce str '("The" " " "Brown" " " "Cow"))

    will return

    "The Brown Cow"

    str takes a list of things and turns them into one string. You can even do this: (str "this is a message with numbers " 2 " inside")
