Though it might not be the best option here, the Clojure reader is always ready to serve:
user> (type (read-string "123")) java.lang.Integer user> (type (read-string "123123123123123")) java.lang.Long user> (type (read-string "123123123123123123123123123123123123")) java.math.BigInteger Of course, it might also pose a bit of a security threat: user> (read-string "#=(println \"I OWN YOU NOW!\")") I OWN YOU NOW! nil :) -Per On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 5:47 AM, Chas Emerick <cemer...@snowtide.com> wrote: > Glen, > > You want (java.math.BigInteger.
