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.

It depends on what you are trying to do, what resources are available on your machine and how many hits you expect to process. As a rule, static Web pages are of course less resource hungry and more stable. I would only use dynamic Web pages if the data changes often enough to justify the additional overhead on the server side. Or if the ratio of expected number of hits vs. the resources available on the machine is ridiculously low. > >I would be really glad to get some ideas on this, and maybe even some code >that I can play around with to learn from.

[REBOL] [REBOL]string to series function Re:(2)
Hi Sterling, one little detail: your approach works well enough with this particular example because space is one of the desired delimiters. Conceivably Tim may want a more universal solution that enables him to determine whether or not he wants to include spaces in his parse rule. In that case IMHO it would be more appropriate to use parse's all refinement and - for the sake of this particular example - include space explicitly as a delimiter in the rule: With space: >> parse/all "one#two%three four" "%# " == ["one" "two" "three" "four"] Without space >> parse/all "one#two%three four" "%#" == ["one" "two" "three four"] Note that the second version returns "three four" as one string because space is not included in the rule.

I would like to have a function to do the following 1)take two strings as arguments a)arg one is source b) arg two is delimiters 2)return a series it would work like this: my-series: string-to-series "one#two%three four" "#% " my-series is returned as ["one" "two" "three" "four"] BTW: I have a c function that does this.

[REBOL] RE: sendmail Re:(2)
To answer respondents - IMAP is a nice protocol but it's receive-only, as is POP. Neither one of them has anything to do with sending email. (SMTP is for that.) The web host company has sendmail working fine. I am using it (and procmail). The problem is, I can't exercise sendmail from a REBOL script even though they have REBOL on the server. The company claims it can't provide authenticated SMTP and are faced with a choice of "open-relay" SMTP (spam-bait) or nothing. So they provide nothing so far as SMTP is concerned. They told me this inability to authenticate SMTP was a function of their Sun Solaris 2.7/Apache server software. (If anyone has ideas how they could configure authenticated SMTP I would be glad to hear about it. Mark

I am impelled to say something in Elan's defense here. As the publisher of several hundred books and author of over 80, I can tell you that book publishing is an oftentimes tedious, always very complicated process with numerous levels to be achieved and resolved. Sometimes the public does not understand and we get yelled at for being "slow" when we are moving heaven and earth to ship titles. Many things in this process are beyond the control of author or even publisher, especially book manufacturers who tend to take their own jolly good time and the heck with the publishers announced schedule. Yes, I would love to have Amazon.com ship my copy on order of REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE, but I know it will come when it comes and that I will then find Elan's Herculean effort in writing it to be of great benefit. The current delay is far beyond the control of either Elan or REBOL Technologies. But it will come. As the immortal Orson Welles said (albeit in one of his more commercial moments) "No wine before its time." Of course, these delays do explain why publishers and writers often drink a lot of wine, it's a stressful biz. -- Ralph Roberts, CEO Alexander Books / Creativity, Inc. 65 Macedonia Road Alexander, NC 28701 1-800-472-0438 voice & fax tollfree U.S. & Canada 1-828-255-8719 voice & fax overseas See Ralph's latest bestsellers at: http://abooks.com/genealogy http://autograph-book.com And my company's online auctions: http://booksave.com Wholesale to the Public Book Auction http://blue-gray.com Civil War Auction http://tennesseestars.com All TENNESSEE THINGS Auction http://bookauction.net Buy Books Net Instead of Retail! http://a-aa.com/gem GEM & METALWORKERS AUCTION http://a-aa.com/nc DOWN HOME IN NORTH CAROLINA AUCTION http://sigs.net/auction Sigs.NET Autograph Auction > Is anyone else seeing a close similarity to Micro$oft here? > > Paul > > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: [REBOL] official guide, again Re: > >Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2000 23:05:38 -0700 > > > > >Is the book available yet, or not? > > > > > >No, but soon. > > > > > > > >Thanks. > > > > > > > > > > > > >;- Elan >> [: - )] > > > > __ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com >
