Hi everyone,
If I execute the following code in *scratch* there's no problem:
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "hello")
(backward-word)
(read (current-buffer)))
=> hello
But in my function, instead of a symbol I get an integer (which is
always the same):
Debugger entered--returning value: 49243792
read(#<buffer *temp*<2>>)
* (equal (read (current-buffer))
The buffer is visiting an uncompressed ASCII English text file and
point is before the word 'sda:' so it should return 'sda:' as a
symbol, (like 'hello').
Any light much appreciated.
Sebastian
