Thanks ralf, this was a good idea. I should have had that thought on my own. Next time I'm trying strace. However, my computer froze and I had to restart. Now it is working.

Hi, I'm recently getting an I/O error when trying to start newLisp: $ /usr/bin/newlisp ERR: I/O error I didn't change anything, it just happend. Didn't try a new install so far. Any ideas why this happend? $ file /usr/bin/newlisp /usr/bin/newlisp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (S...

Many thanks, it works for me now how it should. I think I did something wrong somewhere.
However, the idea with redirecting it to stdout and then using the output in newlisp can be helpfull in other cases. I'm gonna keep that in mind.

It's based on Debian 8.2

Which version of Linux?

I'd prefer to find it by only typing the problem or something about the function, and I think this would help a lot of users and newLisp as well. This is how it works with Linux problems and just anything else. But, all sites about newLisp are not indexed very well by the search sites. I wondered if...

Ahh, that's it. Thanks!
But, the number needs to be a string as well.

I tried using unix:syslog from here http://www.newlisp.org/code/modules/unix.lsp.html I don't know what printf format means, though I read the wikipedia entry. All of these examples (module "unix.lsp") (unix:syslog 5 "test %s") (module "unix.lsp") (unix:syslog 5 "test%s") (module "unix.lsp") (unix:s...

I'm able to run programs in Linux by using (! <name>) or (exec <name>). But I can't declare variables. MAIN:/home/usernamedeleted> (! "declare final_answer=42") sh: 1: declare: not found 32512 MAIN:/home/usernamedeleted> (! "set final_answer=42") 0 MAIN:/home/usernamedeleted> (! "echo $final_answer"...

I would really love it, if I could find

- infos about newlisp functions
- newlisp snippets
- threads of this forum

in any search engine. Thanks.

When I run a script of mine while putting (exit) at the end, it works. But if I want to stay inside of it after it run, I get this: ERR: string token too long : "|\n|-----\n| width=\"250\" valign=\"top\" |\n* " It's not about what this error regularly means, but why it appears only if I don't end th...

Thanks for your help so far, I might look into your code if I can use it.

Even if this would be the right way to do it, then the print function also had to show it. You can't be serious about just keeping it how it is. It's invisible. A programmer can't know which files a user would be using as an input file, so this is one more thing to think of writing a program. Your l...

I think programs are not supposed to read the BOM when reading a file (this way). When I do $> cat file in Linux, then the BOM is not shown, nor in any other program. How I've shown above in newLisp it's even a difference when using println or using starts-with. This makes no sense at all, people ma...

Wierd. I think BOM is supposed to only happen once, at the very beginning of the file. Right, and that fits exactly to the error I got. Only the first line makes troubles. So even in the (cond ...) style, the code doesn't work if BOM is in the file? Yes. I think it's clearly a bug. Unlike other pro...

Update I found the nerve to try it again. I created a new file and it worked correctly, until I used that option in geany called "Write Unicode BOM". I always activated this, without knowing if I need it for sure. It turns out, for this use case I don't. I'm quite sure I started activating this caus...

Here, cleaned it up a little for you. Thanks, but you also put an error in it: (push temp result-list-1)) should be (push temp result-list -1)) Here is a question: are you intentionally skipping lines that start with a tab "\t"? Yes, for the moment. I wanted to decide later what to do instead. if y...
