Hi guys,

I am stuck and I am hoping someone can help me with this as I have
been stuck.  I am working in the REPL and when I call the re-split
function

user=> (re-split #"\W+" "This is simple sentence")

I get the results properly.

However, if I try to wrap the same call within a function passing the
sentence in as a variable:

(use '[clojure.contrib.str-utils :only (re-split)])

(defn split-by-whitespace [sentence](
   (re-split #"\W+" sentence)
   ))


(def x "This is a test")
(split-by-whitespace x)

I get the following exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.ArraySeq cannot be cast to
clojure.lang.IFn (countwords.clj:0)

Can someone provide me a clue as to what is going on here?  This seems
like such a basic function that I must be missing something simple.

BTW:  I am using the clojure distribution that is part of the code
examples from Stu Halloway's book.

     Thanks,
        John
