[erlang-questions] Reading a term from a string

[Caoyuan]

Did you mean:

> TupleListStr = "[{a, b, c}, {d, e}]".
"[{a, b, c}, {d, e}]"
> {ok, TermTokens, _EndLine} = erl_scan:string(TupleListStr ++ ".").
{ok,[{'[',1},
    {'{',1},
    {atom,1,a},
    {',',1},
    {atom,1,b},
    {',',1},
    {atom,1,c},
    {'}',1},
    {',',1},
    {'{',1},
    {atom,1,d},
    {',',1},
    {atom,1,e},
    {'}',1},
    {']',1},
    {dot,1}],
   1}
> {ok, Exprs} = erl_parse:parse_exprs(TermTokens).
{ok,[{cons,1,
          {tuple,1,[{atom,1,a},{atom,1,b},{atom,1,c}]},
          {cons,1,{tuple,1,[{atom,1,d},{atom,1,e}]},{nil,1}}}]}
> {value, TupleList, _NewBindings} = erl_eval:exprs(Exprs, []).
{value,[{a,b,c},{d,e}],[]}
> TupleList.
[{a,b,c},{d,e}]
