Read stdin to string in Newlisp

Question

How do you read the entire contents of standard input into a string in Newlisp? (i.e the entire remaining contents after the current read position - this operation is commonly called "slurp file")

Answer 1

You can use this:

(define (read-all)
  (let (r "" ch "")
      (while (setf ch (read-char))
        (setf r (append r (char ch))))
    r))
