11:41 <moea> Int64 has it's own abs function, and im doing "open Int64", but i only want to use it's bits_of_float function

11:41 <moea> though when i do (abs 2), ocaml uses Int64's abs function

11:42 <Submarine> why don't you use Abs.bits_of_float ?

11:42 <moea> what is "Abs" ?

11:42 <Submarine> woops

11:42 <Submarine> Int64.

11:43 <moea> because the number im using abs on isn't an Int64

11:43 <Submarine> I mean, if you don't want to use "open", why do you use it? :-)

11:43 <Submarine> so use Pervasives.bits_of_float

11:43 <moea> there isn't one?

11:43 <moea> isn't it possible just to use some of the functions from Int64?

11:44 <moea> if some of my numbers are Int64's, and some arent?

11:44 <Submarine> I don't understand what you want to do.

11:44 <moea> i want to use *only* the Int64.bits_of_float function, without trampling all of the pervasive functions with conflicting names, like abs()

11:45 <Submarine> so do not use "open"

11:45 <moea> what can i use instead?

11:45 <Submarine> and simply write: Int64..bits_of_float

11:45 <Submarine> and simply write: Int64.bits_of_float

11:45 <moea> oh, i didn't know you could do that

11:45 <moea> thanks :)

18:27 <ax> i have a question here, how can I use modules like Str and Graphics in the interpreter? I always get the undefined reference error when doing things like Str.regexp etc, so how do i explicitly load that library in the intepreter?

18:45 <avlondono> ocaml str.cma

18:46 <avlondono> or #load "str.cma"

18:46 <ax> ok, cool, i was trying #load but i wasn't quite getting it right i don't think

18:57 <ax> man, there are quite a few errors in this cook book webpage for ocaml

19:03 <avlondono> what webpage?

19:12 <ax> http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_ocaml

19:36 <avlondono> I didn't see any at first glance

21:41 <ax> is_DecimalNumber on http://pleac.sourceforge.net/pleac_ocaml/numbers.html

21:42 <ax> the f should be an n and it doesn't recognize numbers with an absolute value less than 1

21:44 <ax> has_NonDigits strait up doesn't work

21:44 <ax> there are others

21:44 <ax> i guess i should join and make corrections huh?
