Hi, Could someone please tell me whats the gambit way to "slurp" a file? Regards, Kashyap

It depends on the file. Try read-all with an appropriate third argument. It's in the documentation.

Gerbil's std/misc/ports also defines read-all-as-string read-file-string read-all-as-lines read-file-lines. You can use Gerbil (yay!) or you can trivially port that code to plain Gambit.

And to read a file as a list of lines:

(call-with-input-file "read.scm" (lambda (port) (read-all port read-line)))

For a text file you can do:

(call-with-input-file "file" (lambda (port) (read-line port #f))
