[erlang-questions] case error

[Wes James]

I have a case like this:

case file:read_file(Args) of
{ok, Data} ->
...;
{error, Reason} ->
....
end;

but when I run the code I get:

exit value: {{case_clause,{ok,<<524 bytes>>}},[{module,fun,1}]}

What am I doing wrong here?

thanks,

Hi Wes,

I would suspect that you assigned some value to the variable Data in the same function earlier. So now it does not match the info read from the file.

Argh - you are right, there is a Data above that - Thanks!

I kept thinking the structure of this didn't seem wrong.

Thanks again,
