I would like convert a string into a list like this:

this:   "name1=value1&name2=value2"
become: (("name1" "value1")("name2" "value2"))

can somebody give me some hints about how to do that?

try with de fonction with-input-from-string or something like that, 
and then read; with the :index :start and :end you can make your list.
