Re: [gzip-stream-devel] read-line

Apparently read-line is not available yet. On sbcl:

Yeah, unfortunately the gzip-streams have an element-type of '(unsigned-byte 8) and as such I didn't implement read-line on them, i assumed (poorly) that there would be a more readable error than no such applicable method.

as a workaround for now you should be able to use Edi Weitz's excellent flexi-streams http://cliki.net/flexi-streams to enable read-line usage.

eg. (gzip-stream:with-open-gzip-file (s "e:/dapper.htm.gz") (setf s (flexi-streams:make-flexi-stream s)) (read-line s))

This will be addressed sometime in the future.
