[plt-scheme] input from file
hi,
I need some help reading data from a file.
currently I'm hardcoding data-strucures I want to deal with:
--
;; struct question
;; name is a symbol; v1, v2 are numbers
(define-struct question (name v1 v2))
;; questions-hardcoded: -> list of questions
;; generates a list of questions
(define (questions-hardcoded)
(list
(make-question 'q1 10 20)
(make-question 'q2 5 13)
(make-question 'q3 5 8)
...))
(define questions (questions-hardcoded))
--
It would be nice to have a function that builds a list of questions from
a file, like:
--
;; questions-from-file: string -> list of questions
;; generates a list of questions from a file
(define (questions-from-file filename)
... )
(define questions2 (questions-from-file "C:\\home\\scheme\\data.txt"))
--
data.txt:
--
q1 10 20
q2 5 13
q3 5 8
...
--
I've just started recently to teach myself scheme via htdp/DrScheme and
all examples for I/O I found in the help-desk or via google use
syntactic constructs I don't know yet; an idiot-proof and minimalistic
example of how to read a file line by line and how to tokenize a string
(at whitespace) into symbols and/or numbers would be of great help.
TIA,
markus
