Hello - i have a single problem:
I have written my one vocabulary trainer -
if i get a imput from the user i use the READ Function
for a single word - it ok - but for a sentence the user
must set brackets at the beginning and the end.
for example: "it is raining"
I want the user do not have to set the brackets !
How can i do that ?
this is my program now:
.....
(setq input_string (string-downcase (string (read))))
(cond ((string= input_string (car list ).........

Not quite sure I understand what you want, exactly, but the
#'read-line function is probably good for letting the user enter in
some text.

in Lisp languages, using a hyphen over an underscore as the delimiter
in symbols is preferred. So what you'd have would look more like:
(let ((input-string (nstring-downcase (read-line))))
(...))
