https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Conditionals.html <-- elisp has if/cond, does it also have case ?

found it; pcase

(buffer-string) returns this for me - a string with properties:

how can I check if a specific property is contained?

pseudocode: (if (contains? (buffer-string) "cider-repl-stdout-face"))

@qqq pcase is notoriously kinda weird. john wiegeley, the emacs maintainer, has written on it if you'd like to see some documentation http://newartisans.com/2016/01/pattern-matching-with-pcase/

@dpsutton: it's okay, I'm not doing anything complicaetd; here is the extend of my pcase usage:

(defun my-get-level (s)
  (let ((ans (pcase (my-count-star s)
	       (0 999)
	       (x x))))
    (message "match: %s -> %s" s ans)
    ans))
