For "serializing" you have a couple options: (def my-string (binding [*print-dup* true] (pr-str [1 2 3]))) (def my-string (with-out-str (print-dup [1 2 3] *out*))) I don't know which is "better". Both produce a my-string like: "#=(clojure.lang.LazilyPersistentVector/create [1 2 3])" The regular 'read' function can read these *print-dup* strings to reproduce the original structure, a.k.a. deserialize: (def my-data (with-in-str my-string (read))) --Chouser --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
