But I'm probably misunderstanding the question.
You said you wanted to create a dotted list with a variable's value
as cdr, but
your example doesn't show that. The cdr you use is "~/.emacs.d/
Name", which you
don't give as the value of a variable. The only variables mentioned
are
`backup-directory-alist' and `user-emacs-directory' (which is used
for the car).
Right now, actually since years, I have my init file
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . "~/.emacs.d/Name")))
and I want finally to get rid of the string "~/.emacs.d/Name." I can
easily create a variable from the variable user-emacs-directory and a
string, but then I did not find a way that some_variable used in
(setq backup-directory-alist '(("." . some_variable)))
is evaluated to the proper value. I had no idea how to achieve this.
The examples in your second eMail work as advertised. Thank you!
