[REBOL] [REBOL] Reading REBOL header Re:

2000-04-09 Thread icimjs

Hi,

try:

 print mold system/script/header

The objects fields will all be set to none, unless you do a script first.

At 04:37 PM 4/8/00 -0800, you wrote:
According to rebol documentation, the 
rebol header is an object.

If so, how does the rest of the script file
access the header?

Given the following code:

REBOL
[
Title: "Scan Web Sites"
Date:   12-Nov-1997
Author: ["Ema User" "Wasa Writer"]
]
print REBOL/Title
; the line above generates the error message:
** Script Error: Invalid path value: Title.
** Where: print REBOL/Title

what would be the correct syntax.
Thanks
Tim

[REBOL] REBOL CGI's and sendmail

2000-04-09 Thread rbjones

Is it possible to write a CGI script in REBOL which uses sendmail? I know
you can send e-mails if you know the SMTP servers but many of the hosts I
have considered won't give users the name of their SMTP server and tell
them to use "sendmail".

I thought I heard (or read!) here that you could'nt use sendmail as REBOL
won't allow you to execute other apps.

Is there a way around this ? Or will there be?

 According to rebol documentation, the
 rebol header is an object.

  True ! It can be access by the system/script/header not by REBOL
object !!
 You need REBOL for filling values of the object system/script/header
only !
  try this :
 probe system/script/header

 and now try this
probe REBOL  ... to make sleep REBOL/core ;-) !



 If so, how does the rest of the script file
 access the header?

 Given the following code:

 REBOL
 [
 Title: "Scan Web Sites"
 Date:   12-Nov-1997
 Author: ["Ema User" "Wasa Writer"]
 ]


Your example becomes :
header-script: system/script/header
print ["Title : " header-script/Title]
print ["Date : " header-script/Date]
foreach person header-script/Author [ print person ]

 what would be the correct syntax.

[REBOL] [REBOL] System object documentation

2000-04-09 Thread tjohnson


I can't seem to find documentation on the system
object. Dictionary says: 
"For advanced discussion on system, see the Users Guide"
But I find little or nothing on the subject. 
I also note that even Rebol/View locks up (on Windows NT)
when I attempt 
print mold system or probe system.
Where can I find complete documentation?
thanks

[REBOL] System object documentation Re:

2000-04-09 Thread allenk

Hi Tim,

Best way to learn what is in the system object, is to use Bo's
browse-system.r script
from Rebol.org archives. http://www.rebol.org/utility/browse-system.r.

Many of the entries in the system can also be accessed through mezzanine
functions.

e.g

 source what-dir
what-dir: func [
"Prints the active directory path"
][system/script/path
]

The note on not using source system is in the FAQ.
http://www.rebol.com/faq.html

From the FAQ
"
Q. I find that when I type SOURCE SYSTEM, SOURCE REBOL, or PRINT SYSTEM, the
computer will lock up. Why?

A.  Viewing the system object should only be done with care. Future
revisions of the system object are going to change, therefore, use the
mezzanine level functions to access system object information when possible.
With that said, here is an example of viewing the system object:
 print mold first system
[self version product words options user script console ports
 network schemes error standard]
 print system/product
Core

WARNING: DO NOT enter 'print mold second system' or 'print mold system'
since this will cause the interpreter to hang.
"

Cheers

Allen K

[REBOL] official guide, again

2000-04-09 Thread RChristiansen

I see bn.com lists REBOL: The Official Guide as "available" and "ships 1-2 
weeks" while amazon.com says "this title is not yet available." Meanwhile, 
the chapters previously posted in the McGraw-Hill Bet@ Books section are 
non-existant.

Is the book available yet, or not?

Thanks.

This can be determined by reading from dns://

print read dns://; reads the hostname
sparky-home

print read rejoin [dns:// read dns://] ; same as read dns://sparky-home
209.52.202.215
