That won't work:

* (split-sequence:split-sequence #\tab "foo bar")

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-READER-PACKAGE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {23EAC151}>:
Package SPLIT-SEQUENCE does not exist.



However, this will work:

(require srfi/13) ; string-tokenize
(require srfi/14) ; char sets
(require srfi/42) ; list-ec

(call-with-input-file "input.dat"
(lambda (p)
(list-ec (:port line p read-line)
(string-tokenize line (char-set-complement (char-set #\space))))))

(("foo" "5")
("bar" "20")
("baz" "4")
("-9.9" "foo" "6")
("foobar" "23")
("foobar" "3")
("bar" "68")
("baz" "33"))
