Question: How do I read non-printing characters in the reader? When I call (char 3) at the REPL, it gives me \ and then the puts the ascii 3 to the output (under slime this shows up as \\003).
But there seems to be no reader way to read these non-printing characters. There are special cases for \space, \newline, and \tab, but in general the only way to get one of these is by converting from somewhere else or using the char function. This isn't a super big deal, but it does seem like the reader should be able to read an arbitrary character literal. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
