Taylan Ulrich Bayýrlý/Kammer scripsit: > Is using `get-output-string' really "reading" from the port?
In SRFI 6 and R7RS, it is not; it simply retrieves all the characters that have ever been written to the port and does not side-effect the port. The R6RS analogue, however, retrieves what is currently available on the port and then removes those characters from the port, which is much more like reading. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [email protected] Deshil Holles eamus.
