Re: [armedbear-devel] how to redirect format function to a socket stream

Hi Santiago,

Welcome to Armed Bear Common Lisp (and Common Lisp in general)!

I've a socket stream named "socket" in this port and host: 50362 and

localhost

I've written this function to redirect format function to the socket but only appears NIL. How can I redirect format t lisp function to a socket?

(defun colors() (WITH-OPEN-STREAM (socket (SOCKET:SOCKET-CONNECT 50362 "localhost")) (let ((*standard-output* socket)) (format t "The color is ~A" "red") )))

Maybe the underlying stream wants to optimize the socket writes and keeps your write buffered for now? In that case, you want to use FORCE-OUTPUT to make sure all internal buffers get written to the stream.

Hope that helps!

Bye,

Erik.
