The server that hosts my web site will be swapping machines and IP addresses tomorrow, so the tutorials I've got on it may be momentarily innaccessible tomorrow. I'll try to get the DNS records corrected tomorrow when the swap happens as quickly as I can. (I'm in Palm Springs now with intermitte

Re: [racket] exception instead of EOF?

2011-12-26 Thread Matthew Flatt
Here's another approach, which is to wrap the port with one that raises an exception before returning an EOF on read or peek: #lang racket (define (input-port->error-eof-input-port p [close? #t]) (define (handle-eof) (error "eof")) (define (filter-result r) (cond [(eof-object? r) (ha

2011-12-26 Thread Neil Van Dyke
When using the "command-line" macro for parsing "raco" commands with subcommands (e.g., "raco mycommand mysubcommand arg ..."), is there a better way than the code fragment at the end of this message? The main problem I have with this code fragment is that "raco mycommand --help" is not very h

Hi, it's me again, and whereas I don't know how dumb I am I sure might have been a bit lazy :-; Unfortunately, even after taking a bit more time, I don't know how it works. Lastly, I've been trying this, which displayed fine: (define f-choose-db (let ((o (radio #"orcl" #t)) (r (radio

FYI, I've just started to tinker with formlets, templates, and forms from Wufoo. I forget things easily now, so I am writing down my study notes here (https://github.com/racketeer/racketeering/tree/master/wufooing). Looks like it could be of use to other newcomers to rkt. I would also welcome cr
