Reading files, accessing lists, writing files in XEmacs lisp.

How do you do it.

[andreasfriedrich]

I have written what I want to do in Perl.

open('IN', '<file'); 
while (<IN>) { 
 delete $choose{$_} if exists $choose{$_}; 
} 
close('IN'); 
# choose one keys within %choose 
open('OUT', '>>file'); 
print OUT $chosen; 
close('OUT'); 
#add hook to delete $chosen from file when emacs is closed

Could anybody translate that to lisp or point me to a resource where I will find those infos myself. XEmacs´ lisp info pages have not been really helpful.

Any lisp hackers around?

TIA Andreas.

Perhaps the Lisp coders crawl out of their hiding places on weekends ;) Let´s see what happens.
