Prolog - List of CharCodes to a String or Characters
character, character-encoding, list, prolog
Solution
Given `L="abc", convert(L, X), X = abc` I'd say that you want to get atom (see Data types description) from prolog string. I guess you want `atom_codes/2` or something like that. It should work like `L="abc", atom_codes(X, L).` according to doc.
Unnfortunately currently I have no SWI-Prolog in my system. But here is YAP which contains atom_codes/2
YAP 6.3.2 (x86_64-linux): Sat Sep 1 08:24:15 EEST 2012
MYDDAS version MYDDAS-0.9.1
?- L="abc", atom_codes(X,L).
L = [97,98,99],
X = abc
Don't forget as well that if you need to output string you don't need it to be converted to atom. See format/2 in SWI (or in YAP)
?- L="abc", format("~s~n", [L]).
abc
L = [97,98,99]
Problem
I have a list of Character Codes in prolog. I would like to change them into characters. For instance, `L = "abc"` returns `L = [97,98,99]` Assuming I start with `L = [97,98,99]` Is there anyway to convert L back into abc such that, if there exists a method `convert(L, X)` returns `X = abc` Thanks.
