Hi tim,
just-one: pick parse/all "one#two%three four" "#% " 1
or
just-one: first parse/all "one#two%three four" "#% "
or, if want to continue collecting the complete block in my-series:
just-one: pick my-series: parse/all "one#two%three four" "#% " 1
and
just-one: first my-series: parse/all "one#two%three four" "#% "
Note that pick is safer, it will return none if parse returns none or if
parse returns an empty block, whereas first will fail with an error
exception in both cases.
