Re: [Newbie] removing an element from a sequence

Function remove (or delete) eliminate all the occurences of an item in
a sequence.
for example:
(remove #\a "adagio") ----> "dgio"
Let say that I need to remove only one occurence at a time, for exmple
I may need to remove the #\a at index 2 in "adagio" and obtain
as a result "adgio".

You mean like:

(remove #\a "adagio" :start 2 :count 1)


I have not yet figured out how to do it properly.

Look at <http://www.lisp.org/HyperSpec/FrontMatter/index.html> to find
teh full documentation of the Lisp functions.
