erlang records trouble -

i'am struggling records in 1 of modules.

i defined on top of code record as:

-record(user,  {pid,                 name,                 nick}). 

in few words each user going represented process own pid , other fields.

later on in module doing following:

pid = userpid, getuser = fun(x) ->                 if x#user.pid =:= pid -> true;                     x#user.pid=/= pid -> false                  end        end, user = lists:filter(getuser, users), io:format("user pid ~p~n",[user#user.pid]). 

running code get:

** exception error: {badrecord,user} 

but if do:

io:format("user ~p~n",[user]).        

it prints

user [{user,<0.33.0>,name1,nick1}] 

can point out missing?

thanks

emil's answer the lists:filter function correct.

this how rewrite code, though:

-module(com).  -record(user,  {pid,                 name,                 nick}).  -export([lookup/1]).  lookup(pid) ->     users = users(),     filteredusers = [user || #user{pid = p} = user <- users, pid =:= p],     lists:foreach(fun display/1, filteredusers).  display(user) ->     io:format("user name  ~p~n",[user#user.name]).     users() ->     user1 = #user{pid = 1, name = "bob", nick = "bob"},     user2 = #user{pid = 2, name = "alice", nick = "alice"},     user3 = #user{pid = 1, name = "charlie", nick = "charlie"},     [user1, user2, user3]. 

i'm assuming can have multiple pids. if don't, can save foreach.

i believe using list comprehensions in case makes code more readable. also, following:

pid = userpid,

doesn't useful me...
