Hi there.
When I want to read in an S-expression stored in a file into a running Common Lisp program, I do the following:
(defun load-file (filename)
"Loads data corresponding to a s-expression in file with name FILENAME."
(with-open-file (stream filename)
(read stream)))
If, for example, I have a file named foo.txt that contains the S-expression (1 2 3), the above function will return that S-expression if called as follows: (load-file "foo.txt").
I've been searching and searching and have not found an equally elegant solution in Clojure. Any ideas?
Thanks!
