Hi,
I have a list of URLs (all-urls) and I want to launch a
Firefox window for the first x URLs, then wait y seconds,
then launch another one, etc., and then prompt the user if
the source of URLs can be deleted (provided that everything
went smoothly).
If I do:
| (seq-doseq (firefox-urls (seq-partition (seq-sort all-urls #'string<) x))
| (apply 'call-process "firefox" nil "*firefox*" nil firefox-urls)
| (sleep-for y))
that works fine, except that it also waits for y seconds af-
ter the last launch.
Looking at seq's toolbox, it seems to me that the only way
to avoid that last sleep would be:
- seq-sort the URLs alphabetically,
- then seq-partition,
- then seq-reverse,
- then use seq-map-indexed to add the indexes to the subse-
quences in a kind of Schwartzian transform, marking the
logically last partition with the index 0,
- then seq-reverse,
- then seq-doseq and sleep only if the index is not 0.
Ugh. Is there something I missed? Some form of mapconcat
that accepts a function as separator?
