Hi --
Thanks for taking the time to help me.
As far as I understand the examples, loop has this template:
loop [binding]
(condition
(statement)
(recur (binding)))
And in 'recur' the loop is re-executed with new bindings.
There was indeed an issue with the 'recur' outside 'when'. Thanks for
pointing that out.
I corrected that in the version below.
I also changed to a smaller file (UTF-8 encoded in Linux), called
'ribs.txt', with the following content:
source/txt on master [!?]
❯ cat ribs.txt
Try my delicious pork-chop ribs!
source/txt on master [!?]
❯ cat ribs.hexdump
00000000: 54 72 79 20 6d 79 20 64 65 6c 69 63 69 6f 75 73 Try my delicious
00000010: 20 70 6f 72 6b 2d 63 68 6f 70 20 72 69 62 73 21 pork-chop ribs!
00000020: 0a .
(defn pt8 [file]
(let [afr (FileReader. file); instances of FileReader, BufferedReader,
StringBuffer
bfr (BufferedReader. afr)
ct (StringBuilder.)
this-list (list afr bfr ct)]
; (apply println this-list)
; put recur INSIDE THE WHEN
(loop [val (.read bfr)]
(when (not (= val -1))
(.append ct (Character/toChars (.read bfr)))
(recur [val (.read bfr)])))
; when finished...
(.toString ct)))
I think this fixed the 'recur', because it does rebinding to a new call to
"read()".
However, the errors remains.
user> (pt8 ribs)
Execution error (IllegalArgumentException) at java.lang.Character/toChars
(Character.java:8572).
Not a valid Unicode code point: 0xFFFFFFFF
The file used is sufficiently small so that we can walk the bytes using
jshell:
jshell> FileReader afr = new FileReader("/home/hank/source/txt/ribs.txt/")
afr ==> java.io.FileReader@1698c449
jshell> BufferedReader bfr = new BufferedReader(afr)
bfr ==> java.io.BufferedReader@5ef04b5
jshell> StringBuilder ct = new StringBuilder()
ct ==>
FileReader reads 2 bytes per character so, to get to the end, of the first
hexdump line, let's walk 32 bytes:
jshell> for (int i=0; i < 31; i++) {
...> if ((value = bfr.read()) != -1) { ct.append((char) value); }
...> i++;
...> }
jshell> ct
ct ==> Try my delicious
00000000: 54 72 79 20 6d 79 20 64 65 6c 69 63 69 6f 75 73 Try my delicious
T r y SP m y SP d e l i c i o u s (<---- YOU ARE
HERE)
00000000: 54 72 79 20 6d 79 20 64 65 6c 69 63 69 6f 75 73 Try my delicious
00000010: 20 70 6f 72 6b 2d 63 68 6f 70 20 72 69 62 73 21 pork-chop ribs!
00000020: 0a .
Now we iterate 31 more bytes, stopping short of the last character:
jshell> for (int i=0; i < 30; i++) {
...> if ((value = bfr.read()) != -1) { ct.append((char) value); }
...> i++;
...> }
jshell> ct
ct ==> Try my delicious pork-chop ribs
00000000: 54 72 79 20 6d 79 20 64 65 6c 69 63 69 6f 75 73 Try my delicious
00000010: 20 70 6f 72 6b 2d 63 68 6f 70 20 72 69 62 73 21 pork-chop ribs!
^ we stopped here
We just advance one more:
jshell> if ((value = bfr.read()) != -1) { ct.append((char) value); }
...>
jshell> ct
ct ==> Try my delicious pork-chop ribs!
And one more time, to see if it borks:
jshell> if ((value = bfr.read()) != -1) { ct.append((char) value); }
jshell> ct
ct ==> Try my delicious pork-chop ribs!
Nope, everything looks fine. Now where does that '0xFFFFFFF" come from?!
