Re: Pass argument to function

[Kristian Lein-Mathisen]

Hi Brandon,

What you are doing looks right to me. What exactly is the error message? 

"string-append" is automaticalli imported, so it should be available without any imports. Perhaps you redifined "string-append" elsewhere in your code? If not, there may me a problem with your CHICKEN installation.

~> rlwrap csi

#;1> (list "a" "b")

("a" "b")

#;2> (list "a" (string-append "b" "c"))

("a" "bc")

I'm trying to learn Chicken and having issues. I'm trying to create a function that takes a docker container name and runs "docker inspect [container]."

This works:

(define test (capture "docker inspect hello-world"))

This works:

(define (str-concat str)
    (string-append "docker inspect " str))

This doesn't:

(define (inspect str)
    (capture (string-append "docker inspect " str)))

I get an error that string-append is not found. How do a call capture with the result of string-append?

Thanks.
