Hi,
I'm having a little trouble with a format string, using the "format"
module. The following two lines produce the same output: "a b".
(format #t "~a ~a~%" "a" "b")
(format #t "~{~a ~a~%~}" '("a" "b"))
Now the same thing but adding an argument to give the length of the
first element:
(format #t "~va ~a~%" 6 "a" "b")
(format #t "~{~va ~a~%~}" '(6 "a" "b"))
The first one works as expected, it prints "a b", whereas the
second one doesn't, it says "error in format".
Is it not possible to use ~{ together with parameters given as
arguments?
Cheers.
