The problem is not in "realizing" the sequence, but in "holding on to the head". Naming the sequence using `def` or `'let` will indeed hold on to the head, but I don't see why loop/recur can't solve your problem. Something like this should work - (loop [fs (file-seq (java.io.File. "/DirectoryWithMillionsOfFiles/"))] (println (first fs)) (recur (rest fs))) Regards, BG -- Baishampayan Ghose b.ghose at gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
