[erlang-questions] List of strings problem

[PAILLEAU Eric]

Yes,
indeed it is the normal behaviour.
I suspect you do something like list flatten before so that
[H2|T2] = T.
is
[H2|T2] = [$s,$a,$m,$2]   and you got "s".
the reason why I told you to do
[H2|T2] = [T].

but minimal test is correct like Taras pointed.
