[erlang-questions] help me to read proper input from commandline erl

[Matthew Evans]

Not sure if there's another way...
List = "[1,2,3,4]".                                    
{ok,T,_} = erl_scan:string(String++".").
{ok,A} = erl_parse:parse_exprs(T).      
{value,Value,_} = erl_eval:exprs(A, erl_eval:new_bindings()).
Value.[1,2,3,4]
