multiple entry input

What would you do if you want to make a function whose input arguments be like setq? I know optional arguments are not allowed in vlisp and I've considered the list input, I was wondering if there is any way to make a function just like setq?

With only lisp i think No. Just write your lisp function in ARX, NET or sth Else ^^.

And you can use list agr like (setqq (list var and value))

To mimic optional arguments to a function I think the best solution is to use a list of dotted pairs:

(defun test( listOptVars )
(princ "\nVariable V1 = ")(princ (cdr (assoc "V1" listOptVars)))
(princ "\nVariable V2 = ")(princ (cdr (assoc "V2" listOptVars)))

(princ)
)

Use it like:

(test '(("V1" . 1) ("V2" . 2)))
(test '(("V2" . 2)))

Alternative approach:

(defun test( listOptVars )
(foreach item listOptVars
 (set (read (car item)) (cdr item))
 (princ (strcat "\nVariable " (car item) " = "))(princ (eval (read (car item))))
)

;discard all variables - cannot be localized
(foreach item listOptVars
 (set (read (car item)) nil)
) 

(princ)
)

Thanks Ketxu, guess I have to come along with this, this does not worth learning arx

thanks Msasu but as I said I've considered list input, it's not good in this case cause I have to make up the list from calling function, well I can simply call this function
