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.

BR,
Jozsef

Subject: [erlang-questions] case error

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,

-wes
