16:51:13 beach Bubblegumdrop: Specbot is mainly useful if you want to show someone else some part of the standard. If everyone used it to look up their own stuff, this channel would be very noisy.

16:51:43 beach Bubblegumdrop: And you can do /msg specbot clhs ... if you want.

16:51:44 Bubblegumdrop Oh, sorry. Somebody asked about :initform and I have used these three to CHANGE-CLASS and REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE for slot values

16:55:09 Bubblegumdrop Art of MOP book also covers this

17:04:49 beach The question was specifically about slots with allocation :CLASS.

18:31:38 Josh_2 Hi hi

18:42:12 Josh_2 Solved my own problem before I even asked the question :sunglasses:

19:14:53 mi6x3m friends is it possible to use a variable as a separator in a "~{~a~^ ~}" format specifier

19:15:29 mi6x3m i.e. "~{~a~^<custom var>~}" list separator

19:16:40 Josh_2 You can call functions in format

19:16:42 Josh_2 so probably

19:16:56 Josh_2 You can call your function and have it return the value of your variable

19:20:32 mi6x3m Josh_2, but how would it apply the semantics of "print unless it's the last element"

19:20:35 mi6x3m that ~^ has

19:21:36 Josh_2 idk, did you try it?

19:23:28 mi6x3m yeah doesn't work

19:25:14 Josh_2 :'(

19:32:53 mi6x3m Josh_2, I think it should be possible though

19:32:57 mi6x3m I found some info online

19:34:42 Josh_2 Lemme know if you get it :sunglasses:

19:34:56 Josh_2 Can't say I've ever used ~^ for anything other than space or ,

19:34:59 mi6x3m Josh_2, it worked :)

19:35:00 mi6x3m thanks

19:52:41 yitzi mi6x3m: I am sure there are many ways to do that. If you want to do as Josh_2 suggests then your do could flet with formatter
