Let's say you're a new user and you want to split a string on a delimiter in clojure.
Okay, I google "string split" in clojure. I find this at http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.string-api.html (ns your.namespace.here (:require '[clojure.string :as str])) and see there is a "split" function. Okay I try this: (ns user (:require '[clojure.string :as str])) (def x "dfas,d,d,dsf") (split x ",") I get an error message: Clojure 1.2.0 java.lang.Exception: lib names inside prefix lists must not contain periods (test.clj:1) 1:1 user=> #<Namespace user> 1:2 user=> Is the doc out of date? Now I try newLisp. I look for string split. I find this the "parse" function. I try this: (set 'x "dfd,dfs,fds,asf,sdf") "dfd,dfs,fds,asf,sdf" > (parse x {,}) It just works. Can't clojure just go ahead and include a string library in the standard library? Or make it easier to use libraries in general. I always have a problem with require, use,etc.etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
