Hi all,
I have another question today... I was digging through the documentation
yesterday trying to find a function that basically does this:
1. Takes as input a string [eg. "{a,b,c}"] and
2. Outputs a term {a,b,c}
I did quickly look at the erl_parse and erl_scan functions, but didn't
find anything that seems to be able to do this. Basically it is the
reverse of
io_lib:format("~w",[Term])
that I am looking for... I thought there might be a string_to_tuple or
string_to_term function, but no luck for me.
Anyone that knows of a simple way to do this?
Rgds,
R
