Ahh, I see. That could be useful under some circumstances. However, most Clojure functions that deal with lists return lazy seqs, so a lot of the time you don't need to call lazy-seq directly. For instance, lets say I want to return a lazy list of all the lines in all the files in a directory tree: (use '(clojure.contrib java-utils duck-streams)) (defn all-line-seq [dir] (mapcat read-lines (file-seq (file dir)))) Since file-seq, read-lines and mapcat all lazy, my final result is lazy as well. > Is file-seq recursive? I'd figured it just returned the flat contents > of a directory. Yep, it's recursive. If you just want the flat list you could just use the .listFiles method, which I guess is why there isn't an explicit function for it in clojure.core. - James --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
