I think I should warm up on newLISP again especially on contexts and def-new and the new unify etc. I'll try to then write about these additional subjects 1. lexically scoped programming in newLISP codified with examples (and perhaps macros) to make it as easily as rolling off a log. 2. a closer loo...

I forgot about dynamic scoping.

I wrote this when late at night when
I was half asleep.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand what you are
asking.

Unless I'm unwittingly recursively calling
something and growing the stack what else
could be causing this memory leak? Is
it my code or the newLISP garbage collector?

TBTW - hanks for taking the time to run it.

Do you have an email that I can send you the code? It is basically a generic filter that anyone can use. The configuration file customizes it for handling your particular flat files. You simply specify the match column regular expressions and the replace column RE's and replacement text. So this cou...

I'm using newLISP for filtering large number of huge ascii text files (one line equals one record). The filter is making simple changes to the input text line (record) and printing it to a tmp file and then when finished replacing the original file (after it was closed of course). After running for ...

I delete the output file if I fail to write anything. <pre> (define (file-map fn-line-map filename out-filename out-temp) (setq out-file (open out-filename "write")) (if out-file (begin (setq in-file (open filename "read")) (setq out-written nil) (if in-file (begin (while (read-line in-file) (write-...

This was done in a hurry and briefly tested. It allows you to map the lines from the input to the output file. The optional 4th argument indicates the out-file is temporary and that the output file replaces the input file when finished. If the function succeeds it returns the final file name otherwi...

my eye sight isn't the greatest any more.

I didn't see the hyperlink to exists in the manual
at the bottom of the example.

I didn't see that before.

Suppose read-file allowed an optional 2nd argument (read-file filename fnc) This fnc is called once for each line in the file. But instead of returning the entire file in a str-buffer it returns a continuation function that can be repeatedly called until returning EOF. If this is too confusing suppo...

It would be nice if (for-all ..) allowed for additional, optional list arguments. (for-all (fn (item) ...) list1 ... listn) It may not always be efficient to use append to concatenate the lists since the for-all may be in a loop itself. It would also be nice to have a disjunction complement to for-a...

Hi,

I'm using version 9.1.1 on windows XP.

(write-line "")

and

(println "")

both output a three character sequence

CRCRLF

instead of just

CRLF

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
