I've downloaded Open Dylan Beta4 for Mac OSX and have got 'hello-world'
running on my new intel MacBook.
I'm working on a program which reads text files and am having problems with
using 'with-open-file'
The following fairly simple code gives and error:
Module: aftox
define method aftox-main()
format-out("hello there!\n");
with-open-file (fs = "foo.text", element-type: <byte>)
read-to-end(fs)
end;
end method say-hello;
aftox-main();
// eof
Library file:
Module: dylan-user
define library hello-world
use io;
use common-dylan;
export hello-world;
end library;
define module hello-world
use common-dylan;
use streams;
use simple-io;
end module;
// eof
Compiling with the command 'opendylan -build aftox.lid' gives an error:
Serious warning at aftox:12:
Unexpected token "read-to-end".
aftox:11: -----------
aftox:12: read-to-end(fs)
aftox:13: -----------
(there is a lot more output).
Can anyone see what the problem is?
Thanks
