[erlang-questions] variable unbound

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

The compiler finds that you have not used the File variable. Instead you
open the string constant "File".
Neither do you use the S variable from the case statement (with
file:open/2).

The unbound S is the one in io:format/2. It does not have a value.
