[erlang-questions] Problem parsing Erlang code

[Joel Reymont]

I'm trying to generate Erlang code based on some data in a file. I  
thought I would try to type up the code I want to get to figure out  
what the core should be.

I tried the following at the Erlang prompt but got an error. Any  
suggestions?

Ultimately, I would want to generate the abstract forms by hand,  
filling in values from a file, and pretty-print them. Yes, I can  
generate the Erlang code by concatenating strings but I'd rather not. / 
Lisp macros, oh, how I miss you!/

	Thanks, Joel

\"bicycling, <10\");".
{ok, Toks, _} = erl_scan:string(S).
{ok, AbsForm} = erl_parse:parse(Toks).
