Is out there anything that is for s-expressions what XPATH is for XML?

I am looking for a common-lisp impl if possible. (Also, I dont want to convert sexp to XML and u开发者_开发百科se xpath on the result.)

a bit late answer, but it seems http://www.cliki.net/spath is exactly what you look for.

Have you looked at SSAX+SXML+SXPATH? It's Scheme rather than Common Lisp but that shouldn't hold you up for long.
