[REBOL] load/save objects
Quick question.. I've only found a couple blurbs on the ml archive on this subject but no real snippets of code to toy with. Anyone with such a thing? Didn't find anything on either the rebol.com nor rebol.org sites in regards to this type of thing. On another quick note, anyone know how with /view to center a text object? I've browsed through the object itself but can't seem to properly mix /core and /view commands to calculate an 'at offset to 'text to. BTW, Bo, if you read this one, you rule..I love the new system browser..came in handy for dumping /view tree out to my printer :) Regards, Deryk

[REBOL] multi-tasking? Re:(2)
I am kind of doing multi-tasking using /core, but the way I am doing it is not too pretty. It is a temporary solution until /Command comes out. What I do is run multiple instances of REBOL. These instances can communicate with each other using sockets. If you use windows, a batch file like so can start your instances up without waiting for each to end: -win 9x batch file--- start main.r start slave.r start slave.r start slave.r start slave.r Advantages: Poor mans multi-tasking Get something working while waiting for /Command. ??? Disadvantages: Must start processes ahead of time. Waiting processes consume cpu cycles. Having to use Sockets for inter process communication. Requires OS dependent batch file. Obviously will not work on non multi-tasking OS. Security concerns! Probably others... I would first try to fake multi-tasking instead. Of course there is a some things you cant do that with, since REBOL could be held up with the task. --Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > If you do the following... > > do %script.r > do %script2.r > do %script3.r > > The scripts will execute in succession, but when they complete is up to the > processor, RAM, hard drive, etc. > > This is how I understand it, anyway, because you are essentially mult- > tasking within a single task, which is the REBOL application itself. > > > Hi i'm writting to ask if it's > > possible to launch other scripts > > from a single script, but, without > > having to wait for each script > > to end before the next one can starts. > > > > thanks. timmy > >

No, it is not actually.
First of all, IN OBJ 'WORD will return NONE if 'WORD is not in the

SET did not create a "variable". SET just set the word 'TEST-WORD
in the global context to the value "TEST WORDS". 'TEST-WORD
already existed in the global context at the time the function SET
was evaluated. It has been added to the global context by the
interpreter when it parsed the word from the input string {set
'test-word "test words"}.

[REBOL] parsing by period and newline Re:(4)
FYI-
I solved this "parsing by period and newline" problem by replacing all
instances of a period followed by a newline with a period followed by a tilde,
as follows...
end-of-paragraph: rejoin [{.} newline]
replace/all article-info end-of-paragraph {.~}
Then I just parsed by tilde, as follows...
foreach part parse/all article-info {~} [ append content-parts trim/lines part]
Of course, this doesn't account for tildes showing up in the original data.
[REBOL] Getting an URL from a form Re:(6)
I did some work on this myself. It's a bit annoying when sites don't have a mechanism for a GET HTTP request. A while back Martin Johannesson wrote a simple http-post script to do those requests. Then, to help automate it a bit, I wrote a form parser that reads a web page, parses out a form and returns an object with that info in it so you can see what it requires to post it back. In the case you are talking about, here's what I can do: >> probe parse-form http://www.hembiocenter.se/menu.asp make object! [ method: 'post action: "search.asp" inputs: [word: none search: "actor" search: "title"] hidden: [] ] Then just change some fields so that your values are filled into the inputs block for the words you want... >> inputs == [word: "sleepy+hollow" search: "actor" search: "title] since 'search' appears twice, it's the radio buttons and the last one will be used. Then... >> page: http-post-form http://www.hembiocenter.se/search.asp inputs and presto! You have your page. On pages with hidden inputs, you will have to do an 'append inputs hidden' to pass the rest of the form data on. Both scripts are available form rebol.org... http://www.rebol.org/web/http-post.r http://www.rebol.org/web/parse-form.r Anyway, it'll help when you want to use a form where there is no alternate GET method to use. Sterling
[REBOL] Dangerous (use of) Secure
Hi Rebols, as I understand it, the main point of Secure is its ability to restrict the rights of an untrusted script (eg. %untrusted.r), when the user is not sure, if he/she can run it without eg. damaging his/her files on the harddisk. Here is an example of a naive use of Secure: ; create a sanbox directory, if it doesn't exist already sandbox: %./sandbox/ if not exists? sandbox [ make-dir sandbox ] ; give the untrusted script file rights in the sandbox and no file rights elsewhere orig-rights: do compose/deep [ secure [ net allow file throw %. [allow read allow execute] (sandbox) allow ] ] change-dir sandbox do %../untrusted.r print "Untrusted script done." change-dir %../ ; restore the original rights - potentially dangerous operation - see below do reduce ['secure :orig-rights] Although the above looks allright, if the untrusted script looks like: Rebol [ File: %untrusted.r ] love-you: func [ 'level [word! block!] ] [ love-you allow print "I love you!" ] set [love-you secure] reduce [:secure :love-you] the user's files may get damaged, which implies, that restoring the security level after executing an untrusted script is dangerous!

Does your password or user-id contain a space?
Example from RFC2617
To receive authorization, the client sends the userid
and password,
separated by a single colon (":") character, within a base64 [7]
encoded string in the credentials.
basic-credentials = base64-user-pass
base64-user-pass =
user-pass = userid ":" password
userid = *
password= *TEXT
Userids might be case sensitive.
If the user agent wishes to send the userid "Aladdin" and password
"open sesame", it would use the following header field:
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==
OK lets try this..
enbase join "Aladdin" [":" "open sesame"]
== "QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ=="
Cool that creates the correct one, but the problem we have is
when we include the it as part of the URL. The space is URL encoded.
(confirmed from reading a trace)
http://Alladin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/file
So Rebol will send the wrong code..
enbase join "Aladdin" [":" "open%20sesame"]
== "QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuJTIwc2VzYW1l"
And hence we get the dreaded 401 Not Authorised Error
So if you have this problem then use the following method to access the page
instead.
print read [
scheme: 'http
host: "fortytheives.com"
user: "Alladin"
pass: "open sesame"
path: "path/to/file/"
target: "file.ext"
]
I'm sending in a feedback on this..
Cheers,
Allen K

Hi, of course that isn't the right URL, as it's a swedish site I figured no one would try it.

[REBOL] NT cgi query #163 Re:
I'm not sure if this is the same problem, but I saw a similar type of behavior when I used a WinNT cmd file to run rebol scripts which sent email. My problem was the result of how NT and rebol interacted to find user.r. I ended up writing a separate cmd file to set directories and then start the rebol script. I then called the new launcher cmd file from the original cmd file. Hope this helps.
