[erlang-questions] Bit String Comprehension Question

[Grasl Christoph]

sorry, however, for the noize dear david,

you need to declare that's a bitstring, 
binaries is default and therefore the expected type, 
so this will work 4 u:

<< <<Bin/bitstring>> || Bin <- [<<3:5>>] >>.

it's well explained in the documentation ('programming-examples/constructing binaries and bitstrings')..

Cheers,

My question, however, is regarding bit string comprehension, not list
comprehension.  Please advise.  Thank-you.
