Syntax:
write-string string &optional output-stream &key start end => string
write-line string &optional output-stream &key start end => string
Arguments and Values:
string---a string.
output-stream -- an output stream designator. The default is standard output.
start, end---bounding index designators of string. The defaults for start and end are 0 and nil, respectively.
Description:
write-string writes the characters of the subsequence of string bounded by start and end to output-stream. write-line does the same thing, but then outputs a newline afterwards.
Examples:
(prog1 (write-string "books" nil :end 4) (write-string "worms"))
>> bookworms
=> "books"
(progn (write-char #\*)
(write-line "test12" *standard-output* :end 5)
(write-line "*test2")
(write-char #\*)
nil)
>> *test1
>> *test2
>> *
=> NIL
Side Effects: None.
Affected By:
*standard-output*, *terminal-io*.
Exceptional Situations: None.

Notes:
write-line and write-string return string, not the substring bounded by start and end.
