I think there can be multiple words on each line, so they have to be split into words first. Maybe something like:
(ns example (:use [clojure.contrib.duck-streams :only (read-lines)])) (let [lines (read-lines "file.txt") words (mapcat #(.split % "\\s") lines) ing-words (filter (partial re-matches #".*ing") words)] (doseq [ing-word ing-words] (println ing-word))) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
