Problem Implementing EP

[Zeeshan Ali]

Hello,
   I am trying to write an XChat guile plugin these days and in it i
need to have the EP part of REPL and here is how i do it:

/* Code begins here */
value = scm_c_eval_string (str);
   
if (value != SCM_UNDEFINED && value != SCM_UNSPECIFIED)
  scm_write (value, port);

/* Code ends here */

   The problem is that i get newlines after each char if the string
evaluates to a list or string. E.g if the string i evaluate is
"hello", i get this printed on my port:

 "
 h
 e
 l
 l
 o
 "
  And on evaluating '(1 2 3), i get this:

 (
 1
  
 2
  
 3
 )

   I just tried replacing the scm_write by scm_display and it fixed
the problem, but for strings only. i-e on "hello" i get hello printed,
but the result remains the same for lists. Any clue?

   One more problem is that i can't seem to find an scm_* equivalent
of gh_eval_str_with_catch. If i am correct to assume that there is
none, perhaps i'll go for what dsmith proposed: get the code of
gh_eval_str_with_catch and write one myself and submit it for
inclusion into the next release?
