Well, I would assume you would catch the error, and then try to apply your own parse rules. You would have to try to split paths up, then reapply the load/catch/try-to-parse cycle on the pieces. Or your code could avoid path notation altogether, using pick, eg. pick d i._x then you don't have to recursively apply parse rules on pieces of a path. Anton. > >>> to word!

Maybe we need a special type of block that would allow this? (Which would require a new datatype - well, two new datatypes - the special block and an unknown! datatype.) Which is non-trivial I suspect. For your Flash dialect Oldes, have you thought about a two-pass approach? The first pass would parse the file as a string, converting your myFunc(a, 2, a + b)s and so on to strings (or what datatypes or group of datatypes best suit them), with the second pass performing the main parse. -- Carl Read -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
