slurp works well, however, it reads the file in as a single string. The result may not be readily useable depending on what you are doing. I read in text files using clojure.java.io functions plus the core function line-seq. What you get is a sequence whose elements are the individual lines of the file. Then you can apply the power of the Clojure sequence library functions to the problem you are trying to solve. This gets the text file directly to a data structure which is easily processed. Here's a quick example function: (use 'clojure.java.io) (defn grab-file [file-path] (with-open [text-file-reader (reader file-path)] (do-all (line-seq text-file-reader)))) This returns a sequence of strings. The file-path parameter is a string which is the path to the file. Other functions in clojure.java.io are very useful for dealing with files. Note the reader function is wrapped in a with-open function to make sure it is properly closed. Regards, Greg
