That's normal read-string is : Sequentially read and evaluate the set of forms contained in the string
So you have to read EVERY S-expressions in a loop. BUT 1x is not an S-Expr... Trying a number, but x doesn't work, Trying a symbol, but 1 as first char doesn't work. The best way is to read the whole input string with pattern matching : (spaces? (((number) (symbol?)) OR (symbol))) For each match, you get an array of two for argument, with a null string in the second position if no symbol, else it's an operator. In fact, you just tokenize. But to do that you have to precise the syntax, with an EBNF for example. To see the 4 main pattern matching of Clojure (symbol, int, frac, float) look at https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/src/jvm/clojure/lang/EdnReader.java#L28. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
