Looking for the inverse of slurp

[Ethan Herdrick]

Has the inverse of slurp been added to the core libraries yet? Like this:

(spit "Some text" "/foo.txt")

to make a file called 'foo.txt' containing "Some text".

By the way, it appears that Clojure (or Java) doesn't recognize ~, as
in (slurp "~/foo.txt"). True?

Hi Ethan

spit is in Clojure-contrib. I wouldn't expect Clojure to support OS-
specific idioms like ~, because Java doesn't.

Yes, spit is in clojure.contrib.duck-streams.

Java doesn't support "~", but if you want the home directory you can
get it with
(System/getProperty "user.home")
