vl-list->string

Class

Visual LISP Conversion Function

Syntax

(vl-list->string list)

Description

Combines the characters associated with a list of integers into a string.

Character-code interpretation is version-sensitive in Unicode-capable environments.

Notes

  • Autodesk documents that the argument is a list of non-negative integers.
  • Autodesk documents that in Unicode-capable behavior the accepted integer range is 1 to 65536.
  • Autodesk documents that (vl-list->string nil) returns the empty string.
  • Autodesk documents an AutoCAD 2021 behavior change controlled by LISPSYS; earlier behavior accepted only legacy character-code ranges and produced different results for non-ASCII text.

Availability

  • AutoCAD 2026: documented (per Autodesk reference page).
  • BricsCAD V26: presumed compatible (no contradicting page found).
  • Status: AutoCAD documented; BricsCAD presumed-both pending Phase 4 verification.
