Converting Between Symbols and Strings
Sometimes you might need to convert a symbol to string in Emacs Lisp. You start looking for functions like symbol-to-string
and string-to-symbol
but, they do not exist.
With Emacs Lisp, you can do it like this.
(symbol-name 'some-symbol) ; ==> "some-symbol" (intern "some-symbol") ; ==> some-symbol
