[REBOL] /view stuff
Duh, is there a /view list? I can't remember where it is if it is, but please let me know if this is not good for the regular list. I just started using /view with the latest beta 4.1 announcement. I am finding that the viewer.r utility that came with rebol/view is really cool, but unfortuntely, the load-ed jpgs are not released from memory when the next picture is load-ed, or something. On NT, you can watch the memory usage climb and climb higher until eventually you get out-of-mem. I remember somebody used to have a way to manually force garbage collection, but I don't remember what it was and I don't know if it would help anyway. -- While fooling around with the same program, I sorted the file-list in alphabetical order. I also changed the viewer.r to add a button called jump. I can type in a new name for the file and hit the jump button. It works, but there's something odd happening. After the first one or two I can't get my mouse in the name field, even though it is still yellow. By chance I noticed that if I switch away to another field I can then switch back to the first and the field responds again. (by the way, I don't think these two problems are related, because the viewer.r was choking out-of-mem before I ever started tweaking the file) I might as well include the program since somebody will probably be wondering what stuff I changed. (See attached file: viewer.r) (I have not yet noted my own fiddling in the rebol script header itself.) -galt viewer.r

[REBOL] re: find
oops - I assumed find worked on the whole list, but only works on one element. you have to do find on each element of the block to find it with wild chars. something seems non-intuitive about this arrangement. If I wanted it to do just one element, I would just give it one element. If I want it to seach all the elements of the block, and use wildcards, it should allow that. how is this supposed to work? find "dog" "dog" works, giving head of string find ["dog" "cat"] "dog" works, giving head of list find/any "dog" "d*" works, giving head of string find/any ["dog" "cat"] "d*" does not work, gives none Q: is there any scenario at all in which /any would do anything when you are doing find on a block ? And if it doesn't work, why doesn't the doc warn about that? I foolishly assumed that it would find the first element in the block that matched the string. -galt

[REBOL] ooh aahh! view!!
-- Well, since nobody else got around to it, I might as well kick it off! OO AA OOhh Oohhh Rebol/View is wonderful!!! They say you should only put one idea in each e-mail to a discussion group to keep things simple, but you know what? the world isn't... I am still trying to digest all the goodies in /View. I suppose others are too, that must be why they are so quiet! I just added a delete button to viewer.r which moves an unwanted picture to a garbage directory, and I did it without even reading the manual. Way cool !!! - By the way, lots of gui's let you dump a control at x,y, but the real work for a lot of programmers is getting easy layout of components as window size changes - having it look good, work well, and be easy to program is what anyone wants. Are there examples of doing this yet? Most of the demos I see have a non-resizable window/face. I would assume that this is the kind of thing that the flexible rebol language would excel at. HOW IS IT DONE? --- -galt Oh, and thanks as usual for everybody's kind help.
[REBOL] find/any doesn't seem to work on a list of file names (block of file! values)
find/any doesn't seem to work on a list of file names (block of file! values) I can do find without /any and if i give the entire filename as a file! value then it returns the name. But if I want to find the first one starting with the letter g I can't say find/any files to file! "g*" and have it work. Instead it just returns none. find files to file! "greatstuff.txt" will work, assuming that file is in the list. is this broke, or am I just having a overlooking something obvious? galt p.s. I only tested this on /View beta 4.1

Actually, I prefer a general function that allows you to set a file date, preferably one with FTP support for files in FTP sites. You can implement file copying in REBOL already - it's just setting the file date that needs a native function. Brian Hawley

There are two kinds of http authorization, basic and digest. Basic sends a clear-text userid and password as part of the headers. Digest sends an MD5 message digest of the password - it is newer and more secure. At this point, REBOL only supports basic authentication. Apparently the server you're connecting to doesn't downgrade to basic authentication for security reasons. You may be out of luck, Anton :( Brian Hawley

Hello All: I am currently testing a cgi project with /View on my machine at home. Once concluded, I will then upload the script to my domain, which has /core installed there. I would presume that /core because of it's smaller size would load and execute the script faster. If I'm correct, then that would be an advantage. Also, I know that at least a couple of wireless companies that are specifically interested in /core because of the smaller footprint.

how do you move a file to another directory and preserve it's date?

Hi, I tried setting up a newsgroup for rebol, but in the end I gave up. There is a lot of work to do, and the support has to be there. When I first got into the "yeah, let's have a newsgroup" vibe, it sounded like a great idea. Then quite a few people wrote who were upset about the idea. I persisted, thinking that more is better. I did many hours of work, reading documents, emails etc. I gave up when I didn't think that I could rally up enough votes to create the newsgroup. (I also got really busy with school, and my *crappy* dialup connection was driving me to despair) That was last year...

[REBOL] REBOL in a network environment
I've been tooling around with REBOL since its beta stages and recently found (finally..) some uses for it on our in house network. What I would like to do is to keep the executable available on one of our network samba shares but use the REBOL_HOME environment variable to tell the exe to look at the users shared home dir during the netlogin procedure. The problem that arises is that a SET REBOL_HOME=:\rebol\ during the netlogin procedure doesn't _stick_ under Windows. Anyone with any experience in such a setup with REBOL? All clients are Win98 machines, servers are Linux x86. In a nutshell, I would like to keep away from having to have the REBOL executable installed on every machine and to keep the user.r, rebol.r startup scripts on the network shares to ease in backups. -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Systems Administration iiTowns Ltd. 107 Lockyer Ave. Albany, Western Australia 6330
[REBOL] Script Library Files
If you have not downloaded the new scripting library, it is worth doing so. All 177
scripts can be obtained by downloading a single file:
http://www.rebol.com/library/library.rip (about 110KB)
>From REBOL you can directly expand the library with the line:
do read/binary http://www.rebol.com/library/library.rip
Run the build-lib.r script found in the library, and it will create a local HTML
directory of all scripts. NOTE: use the *new* build-lib.r that I just uploaded
tonight... it provides better feedback and fixes the rebol-banner.gif problem.
For those of you who want your library files in separate directories sorted by primary
