[erlang-questions] syntax problem

[Grasl Christoph]

hi jb

trying code in a shell reveals a lot, coz:

variables in erlang start with a capital, which leads to a bad match when 
binding values to an atom, so try the following:

CNode=nodes(connected), 
CNode=hd(Nodes),
{any, [CNode]}!{Msgtype,AcReply}.

cheers, 

chris

Hi,


In following code:

 cNode=nodes(connected),  %gives node connected to e6 - should get 
c6@REDACTED here
  cNode=hd(Nodes),
 {any, [cNode]}!{Msgtype,AcReply}.   % have tried it with {any, 
cNode}!{Msgtype,AcReply}. but got the error

I am getting - 
{error,{{badmatch,c6@REDACTED},

but when I am hardcoding it as 

  {any,c6@REDACTED}!{Msgtype,AcReply}.

It is working fine...

What could be the problem in first scenario

Thanking in anticipation

Regards,
jb
