Elisp syntax - block of commands

[Benny Simonsen]

Hey

I have a simple question,

I want to execute two commands if an if evaluates to true:

(if (equal "1" "1")
{
(true_comand 1)
(true_command 2)
}
(false_command)
)

But the {} don't give a "block".
How is it done in elisp?

Use progn:

(if (equal "1" "1")
(progn (true-command-1)
(true-command-2))
(false-command))

a more complex form is called COND.

(cond ((equal "1" "1")
(true-command x)
(true-command2 x))
(t
(false-command)))
