Have a look at clojure/core_print.clj in the clojure source. It is indeed used with serialization - see print-dup. Here's an example of usage;
(import '(java.io File FileWriter PushbackReader FileReader)) (defn rec-save "Save a clojure form to file. Returns the called form." [#^File file frm] (with-open [w (FileWriter. file)] (binding [*out* w *print-dup* true] (prn frm))) frm) (defn rec-load "Load and return a clojure form from a file." [#^File file] (with-open [r (PushbackReader. (FileReader. file))] (let [rec (read r)] rec))) (rec-save (File. "my.clj-ser") {:a 1 :b "two"}) File "my.clj-ser" then contains... #=(clojure.lang.PersistentArrayMap/create {:a 1, :b "two"}) (def rec (rec-load (File. "my.clj-ser"))) rec ==> {:a 1, :b "two"} -Regards, Adrian. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
