In case you'd wonder why it works at the repl since what we type there are strings, too. The repl gets them through a call to (read) which parses strings into data structures that are Clojure code. This step is missing for gen-class classes and the contents of *command-line-args* but you could mimic it with something like: (def argv (map read-string *command-line-args*)) Though you'd want to parse numbers safely as Jim showed, for quick tests this can help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
