Do you mean CHICKEN_eval_to_string() ? You should be able to pass a buffer-size that wll hold the result string. What arguments are you giving to the function? > > whats strange is that if i start CSI in the terminal and simply paste the > expr into csi it handles it. That doesn't go through CHICKEN_eval_to_string. The result is converted to a C string and we have to supply the maximal buffer size. In the interpreter the result is written to the console, and thus isn't limited to a particular length. cheers, felix _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
