<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear, David<BR>
<BR>
[Bin || Bin <- [<<3:5>>] ].<BR>
<BR>
works fine..<BR>
<BR>
the syntactical notation for a list comprehension needs to be in '[' & ]'<BR>
whereas you have used the binary/bitstring syntax to 'bracket' your comprehension<BR>
together with the '||', which is typically a list-comp.<BR>
could be mistaken, but it looks like u'r mixing up to notations..<BR>
<BR>

Why does the bit-string comprehension #133 below work whereas #134 is a<BR>
syntax error?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
133> << <<X:N>> || {X,N} <- [{3,5}] >>.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<<3:5>><BR>
<BR>
134> << Bin || Bin <- [<<3:5>>] >>. <BR>
<BR>
* 1: syntax error before: '||'<BR>

Please advise. Thank-you.<BR>
