Hi,

I just wrote a litte PicoLisp program to concatenate JSON files into one (array) JSON file, like this:

(argv Fout)
(unless Fout
    (prinl "No output file argument given") (bye) )

(de isJSON (F)
    (= "json" (pack (stem (chop F) "."))) )

(out Fout
    (let Sep "["
        (for Fin (dir)
            (when (isJSON Fin)
                (prinl Sep)
                (in Fin (echo))
                (setq Sep ",") ) ) )
    (prinl)
    (prinl "]") )

(bye)

It works quite well. If I call it like this ...
pil ../concatJsonsIntoArray.l ../test.json +

.. then I get a file test.json that contains this:

[
{"dummy1": 1},
{"dummy2": 2},
{"dummy3": 3}
]

However, if I take away the final "(bye)", then I also get this in my terminal:

[../test.json:1] !? ({"dummy1": 1} {"dummy2": 2} {"dummy3": 3})
{"dummy1": 1} -- Undefined
?

Why is that, and what should I have done different in my program?

/Jon
