any other function?

HI ..

Its me again

I have a list like (((block1 ((a b) (m n))) (block2 ((x y) (m n))) ....)

Block name will be a user input .. if I input "block1" ans will be (((a b) (m n))) ...

I got function "member" which can match and extract a value from a list.. any other suggestion?

pbe, David, Tharwat, Lee , resu.. ..guys I hope u all are not in vacation ..

...Thnx..

Subho

assoc.....

Probably what the native functions do but... in lisp

(defun getAtom (label lst / i len return )
   (setq i -1 len (length lst))
   (while(< (setq i (1+ i)) len)
       (if(eq label (car (nth i lst)))
           (setq return (nth i lst) i len)
       )
   )
   return
)

list : - ((block1 (m n) ( k r)) (block2 (r t) (y c)) .........) [may be sub-list repeat multiple times]

block name will be user input.. if i input block1, the result will be ((block1 (m n) ( k r)) (block1 (.........))

will assoc works?
