[erlang-questions] returning bindins from file:script

[Joe Armstrong]

I suggest you read the source of file.erl - and in particular the routine
eval_stream2/6 - this returns {ok, Val} so you loose the bindings
change this is {ok,Val,Bindings} and use these when you process the next file.

If you read the code in file.erl and look at file:eval(File)

You see that basically only three routines are involved:

erl_eval:new_bindings/0 - creates  the initial bindings
io:parse_erl_expressions/3 - parses the input data
erl_eval:exprs/2 - evaluates a sequence of parsed expressions

The module erl_eval does all the hard work for you

Cheers
