Use the elements of the list in a format function


I want to do something like:

(setf list '(1 2 3 4 5 6))
(format t "~A some text here ~A ~A ~A more text here ~A ~A" list)

And have the output be

1 some text here 2 3 4 more text here 5 6

How can I do this without calling (nth 1 list) (nth 2 list) etc?


Solution

  • Try

    (apply #'format t "~A some text here ~A ~A ~A more text here ~A ~A" list)
