<nalaginrut>morning guilers~

<b4283>jmd: i'm confused too, the manual says that both could be #f

<nalaginrut>what's the problem?

<b4283><jmd> What is wrong with this : (scm-error #f #f "~S is not a string" 10 #f)

<nalaginrut>well, it says DATA could be #f if key is not the doc listed value

<nalaginrut>I don't think it means key could be #f

<b4283>it seems this function is used to do C FFI

<nalaginrut>why not use 'throw' or 'error' directly

<jmd>Is there a way to convert an expression in to a string?

<kurohin>pretty-print?

<ft>(format #f "~a" '(+ 23 42)) ⇒ "(+ 23 42)"

<jmd>ft Thanks

<ft>If your expression contains strings,though... (format #f "~a" '(+ "test")) ⇒ "(+ test)"

<ft>~s might be better than ~a in that case.

<jmd>I wanted it without the enclosing ( )

<civodul>Hello Guilers!

<jmd>Greetings!
