i have a new issue. i wrote my data as char and end records with 'return. i use (read-line x 'return) and the first record is 15 char. when i use (read-line-bytes x 'return) i get 23 byte. i have to assume that my old assumption that an 8 bit char would write to disk as 8 bits is incorrect? from documentation on read-char Reads a single character from in—which may involve reading several bytes to UTF-8-decode them into a character i get the feeling that i will need to read the entire file as i used to read it taking each record and doing the following: convert the string record to a bignum record convert the bignum record into a byte string write the byte string to a new data file does that seem right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
