Try: (defn print-src [] (println (with-out-str (clojure.repl/source my-function)))) The "source" method is designed for the REPL, and so dumps to *out* by default (you can confirm this yourself, appropriately enough, by doing "(source source)") Cheers, Josh -- Joshua Ballanco ELC Technologies™ 1771 NW Pettygrove Street, Suite 140 Portland, OR, 97209 jballa...@elctech.com P +1 866.863.7365 F +1 877.658.6313 M +1 646.463.2673 T +90 533.085.5773 http://www.elctech.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
