]> I have a file which is approximately 278,440 lines of text (more specifically, it is the result of doing 'ls -lAR /') I was trying to write this relatively simple program to analyze it but it seems that End_of_file was thrown very early. To test, it, I made a simple function: let rec count_lines file n = try let str = input_line file in count_lines file (n + 1) with End_of_file -> Printf.printf "The file is %d\n lines long" n and ran it with something like: let file = open_in "longfile.dat" in count_lines file 0 The result was 26187. count_lines is a stripped-down version of the original function i used to analyze the file. If I used the original, it threw an End_of_file at line 23806. I'm running 3.07+2 on FreeBSD 4.9 any suggestions? -mike ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
