<P><FONT SIZE=2>hi jb<BR>
<BR>
trying code in a shell reveals a lot, coz:<BR>
<BR>
variables in erlang start with a capital, which leads to a bad match when<BR>
binding values to an atom, so try the following:<BR>
<BR>
CNode=nodes(connected),<BR>
CNode=hd(Nodes),<BR>
{any, [CNode]}!{Msgtype,AcReply}.<BR>
<BR>
cheers,<BR>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
In following code:<BR>
<BR>
cNode=nodes(connected), %gives node connected to e6 - should get<BR>
c6@localhost here<BR>
cNode=hd(Nodes),<BR>
{any, [cNode]}!{Msgtype,AcReply}. % have tried it with {any,<BR>
cNode}!{Msgtype,AcReply}. but got the error<BR>
<BR>
I am getting -<BR>
{error,{{badmatch,c6@localhost},<BR>
<BR>
but when I am hardcoding it as<BR>
<BR>
{any,c6@localhost}!{Msgtype,AcReply}.<BR>
<BR>
It is working fine...<BR>
<BR>
What could be the problem in first scenario<BR>
<BR>
Thanking in anticipation<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
jb<BR>
