04:34 <Sylvain> hey that's cool i am recompiling ocaml on beos :)

04:52 <lispy> wow, beos is stillaround?

04:55 <Sylvain> yes it is

04:55 <Sylvain> i still use it for many many things, from latex to firefox

04:55 <Sylvain> from pdf to supernes games

04:55 <Sylvain> from irc to p2p

04:56 <Sylvain> (by MLdonkey !!)

05:02 <KrispyKringle> latex?

05:02 <KrispyKringle> So you switch into BeOS just to type things in latex?

05:02 <KrispyKringle> Why?

05:05 <Sylvain> no i switch because it doesn't bug and it is very easy and user friendly and i can do all that i did before with windows or linux

07:58 <DeathWolf> hum, let's say i have an array of string, i want to calc the sum of all strings in this array's length, what would be the proper functional way?(if there's any), it's pretty easy with a for, but quite dirty too(since one has to use another var)

07:59 <KrispyKringle> I'd use fold, I think. :)

07:59 <KrispyKringle> What's the string length function?

07:59 <KrispyKringle> Ah, string.length :)

07:59 <DeathWolf> yep

08:00 <KrispyKringle> Array.fold_left (fun x y -> x + (String.length y)) 0 [|"a"; "foo"|]

08:03 <DeathWolf> sounds good

08:06 <ski> (s/x/currentSum/ s/y/aString/ or something, if you want more verbose)

08:08 <Herrchen> hi

08:08 <KrispyKringle> Howdy.

08:19 <DeathWolf> what about how to write the char that represents space?

08:26 <DeathWolf> n/m

10:43 <DeathWolf> hum

10:44 <m3ga> ho

11:48 <DeathWolf> type cellvalue = Text of string| Integer of int | Void;; type cellcomplete = { mutable value: cellvalue; mutable dependencies: cellvalue list; mutable updated: bool};; =>i'd like the affectValueString to work with a cellcomplete array array, and not a cellvalue array array, how do i specify it? currently it is: let affectValueString stringValue n m table = table.(n-1).(m-1).value <- (Text stringValue);;

11:56 <flux__> hmm

11:56 <flux__> if I type that in, it gives me val affectValueString : string -> int -> int -> cellcomplete array array -> unit = <fun>

11:57 <flux__> that is, it works with cellcomplete array array's

11:57 <flux__> you're playing with it in the interactive environment, right? and maybe have older, different, declarations there earlier..

12:01 <DeathWolf> hum i guess something like that

15:24 <DeathWolf> okay... stupid one... a clean way to append many strings...

15:27 <DeathWolf> Printf.printf ("%-" ^ (string_of_int cellWidth) ^ "." ^ (string_of_int cellWidth) ^ "s") currentCellString; => wont work for some reason... but feel free to kick me

15:32 <flux__> try: Printf.printf "%-*.*s" cellWidth celWidth currentCellString

15:32 <flux__> except that's an invalid format string anyway?-)

15:32 <flux__> those format strings aren't ordinary strings

17:02 <vincenz> hp

17:58 <flux__> ibm?

18:09 <johnaman> hi

18:10 <vodka-goo> hi

18:11 <johnaman> hi vodka

18:12 <dylan> hmm, this is a bit of an unusal question, not ocaml related... But, could "Spiteri" be a French last name?

18:13 <johnaman> hey

18:20 <dylan> n/m.

18:20 <johnaman> hi

20:47 <DeathWolf> is there an equivalent of a::b for arrays in pattern matching in ocaml?

21:45 <flux__> deathwolf, I don't think so. ocaml manual only states that array pattern are of form [|p1;..pn|] and match arrays of length n

21:58 <DeathWolf> yeah

21:58 <DeathWolf> ended up converting it temporarily into a list
