[plt-scheme] writing to files
Dear All,
Would someone be kind enough to point me in the right direction?
Consider the following code:
(define (w2file c filename)
(let ((file (open-output-file
(string-append
"C:/Users/SHU-USER/Documents/Test/"
(symbol->string filename)
".txt")
#:mode 'text
#:exists 'replace)))
(begin
(write2file c file)
(close-output-port file)
)))
(define (write2file c file)
(begin
(display c file)
(display '#\newline file)))
Produces the following behavior:
Welcome to DrScheme, version 4.0.2 [3m].
Language: Essentials of Programming Languages (2nd ed.); memory limit:
128 megabytes.
> (w2file 'test 'test)
. . display: output port is closed
>
How is it that the output port is closed? If I comment out
(close-output-port file), no error is generated but the file created
is empty. Same results when using write instead of display.
Thanks,
Marco
