Hello, I posted this question in SO, but hoping to get more answers here.
I'm reading Part two from the 2htdp book, and I'm curious about the behavior of
the read-words/line function that lives under 2htdp/batch-io.
I created two different files, the first file having a \n at the end of the
file and the second file without it, like this:
echo -ne "first line\n\nthird line\n" > file1.txt
echo -ne "first line\n\nthird line" > file2.txt
if I read each one of the files with the read-words/line, this is the result:
(read-words/line "doc/book/htdp2/data/file1.txt")
; => '(("first" "line") () ("third" "line"))
(read-words/line "doc/book/htdp2/data/file2.txt")
; => '(("first" "line") () ("third" "line"))
It looks that the function isn't preserving the information from the last
newline character in the first file.
Is that behavior intended?

Thanks,
