[erlang-questions] Re: Display problem while calling sub mod

[Ladislav Lenart]

Hello.

 From the error message it seems that the function processes:max(1000)
prints the info to the console as a side effect. The function does not
return the printed string, just an atom ok.

Later you try to format that atom using the format string: "~B" which
fails.

If processes:max/1 is your own function, try using io_lib:format/2
which returns the iolist instead of io:format/2 which prints the
string directly to the terminal console and returns atom ok.


HTH,
