Open csv file Line

[Hữu Quốc]

Good day to all,

My problem is when i using open fuction:

(setq file1 (open "D:\\112.csv" "r"))

and then error messenger is:

; ----- Error around expression -----
; (AL-FILE2OBJ FILEOBJ)
; in file : 
; Z:\003Kojin\028 Huu Quoc\ソフト\Lisp\Dao1.lsp
;
; error : bad argument type <#<FILE "D:/112.csv">> ; expected <STRING> at [open]

 

Anyone can help me fix that?

@Hữu Quốc Please send more specific information, preferably the whole lisp function and any related functions. At first glance, I do not see why that statement would cause an "Bad argument type" error. Perhaps you have a typo in your first (read-line file1), but I can't troubleshoot this issue with only one line of code.

Maybe file isn't there or a different name might cause an error. Double check the path to the file.

 

(if (findfile (setq path "D:\\112.csv"))
  (setq file1 (open path "r"))
  (prompt (strcat "\n" path " Not Found"))
)

 

but like @pkenewell said need the full code.

@mhupp that is true, but  I think that generates a different error code (or no error code - see test below) than a "bad argument type" on a string value.

Command: (open "C:\\nofilehere.csv" "r")
nil
