[REBOL] core editor tricks?
howdy guys, Has anyone done anything to, say, rem41.r, to allow for the opening of remote files? I'll be sticking with core for a while...View is just too slow on my computer. I like the idea of rebol-based editors alot, though. -- Loving every minute of it. -tom -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] pop filtering
hey guys, I'd like to filter my mail, according to address, as it comes off of the server. Jeff posted this script some time ago, but it's for use with something like sendmail or exim, and I've never been able to get it working. How easy would it be to convert this thing to pop? ;#!/usr/local/bin/rebol -qws ;REBOL [ ;Title: "Mail filter" ;] ; ;stdin: copy system/ports/input ;message: import-email stdin ; ;foreach [item file][ ;"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" %rebol-box ;"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" %doc-box ;][ ;if find item message/to [ ;write/append file stdin ;exit ;] ;] ;write/append %default-box stdin ; ;quit Thanks... -- Loving every minute of it. -tom -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] parse examples?
Hey list, none of my mail has been leaving my computer lately, so sorry if this turns out to be a repeat queston. Does anyone have a list of parse examples? I have the ones from all the current documentation, but was thinking more along the lines of "a parse for any occasion". This time, I'd like to replace stuff from between tags, but that's only this time. any ideas? -- Spend less time composing sigs. -tom -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] why do I get an error here?
hey guys, at the prompt, I can type in read http://www.rebol.com/index.html and get the error, ** Script Error: read-io expected port argument of type: port. ** Where: read-io port/sub-port data port/state/num why do you suppose that started happening?

[REBOL] download progress
Hey list,I don't suppose anyone has made any kind of "progress indicator" for downloads, have they? If I'm fetching a large file, I would kind of like to see how much is left. wget does this pretty well. has anyone done this? -- Turn your computer off. Go outside. -tom
[REBOL] simple, yet frustrating
howdy list, This doesn't seem to be the time to be asking *really* easy questions, but I'm frustrated enough to go for it anyway. this is ftpdownload.r, sans the interactive part. site: ftp://ftp.rebol.com/pub/downloads/ pattern: "*.gz" files: read site foreach file files [ if find/match/any file pattern [ write/binary file read/binary site/:file ] ] what I can't seem to do is have this fetch "*.gz" files, but not "gz.bak" files. I don't want the backups (later, I'll modify this to delete them). of course, the site and pattern have been changed to protect the innocent. thanks for your patience... -- Spend less time composing sigs. -tom

[REBOL] to encrypt, or not to encrypt...
howdy list, There have been several posts on encryption lately. I'd like to be able to encrypt a local password file to call on when constructing ftp urls. I don't want to hard-code them into scripts, and I'm already tired of ;pass: ask/hide "password? " I also don't like to have my passwords floating around my drive in plain text.

[REBOL] curiosity killed the code-generator
howdy list, this one falls into the "I'm just curious" catagory. What would be some of the benefits of writing a code-generator in REBOL, say, for Java? That was actually suggested to me some time ago, and a person I mentioned it to called it a "trial by fire". hmm. Someone wrote some fortran tools, didn't they?

[REBOL] rip over ftp
howdy guys, I've got two questions concerning the rip archiver. how can I use it on a single file? also, more to the point, can I use it via ftp?

[REBOL] cgi and normal scripts
Hey list, I have a cgi question for you. If you want to use cgi with REBOL, do you have to start out with that intention, or can you cgi-ize a regular script? more specifically, I want to use the various fields of a form as input for a "normal" script.

[REBOL] code that crashes
Hey list, two things... I have a pretty big html file with a bunch of same-page links, that goes something like this: link link link #linktarget number name description list .. I want to rebolize the page so I can generate additions to the page (make a "rebol" db).. how might I best accomplish this? also, tell me if there is anything wrong with this line: close insert (find (open ftp://user:pass@site) "these words") (code) it works on opening local files, but, like that, crashes rebol. any ideas? thanks. -- Turn your computer off.

[REBOL] selecting from a block
howdy list, I'm having a bit too much of a hard time with this.

[REBOL] simple foreach question
howdy guys, I'm on a roll, just trying to "get" simple things. for instance, in the exapmle, pages: [ http://www.cnet.com http://www.rebol.com/index.html http://www.news-wire.com/news/today.html ] loop 24 [ foreach page pages [send [EMAIL PROTECTED] read page] wait 1:00 ] where did "page" come from? is it arbitrary? if the block was of species of pigs, would it be "foreach pig pigs? just curious.

[REBOL] pesky little questions
pesky little questions howdy guys, I've a few smallish questions that have been pestering me. Like this one: compressing a file is pretty easy. compress read %this.file (right?) How can I get the compressed data into a script so that I can use it there? I guess a gif would be in the same catagory. Here's another one: I've never made a string or block to store stuff in. Like make string! 1. can I maybe get an example and explanation? I can make a string to decompress into, then work on, right? one more for now: extracting stuff from a block. friends: [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] "her" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "him" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "her" ] how can I get a list to choose from, then use the choice? Like, choices: 1. her 2. him 3. her 1 sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something like that. Thanks! -tom
[REBOL] one more time
one more time howdy again, I'm stumped. Why do I get this with REBOL 2.3.0.4.2: error in loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory and not with 2.2.0.4.2? I ran "update", and I'm using the libc6 version... does anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance, -tom
[REBOL] one more time Re:(2)
What version of libtermcap does your Linux box have installed? (Look in /lib) If you don't have a file or symlink named libtermcap.so.2, you can *probably* make a symlink with that name to whatever version of libtermcap you have installed. Howdy guys, That was it. I use Debian, and Debian doesn't use libtermcap, but libncurses. I symlinked libncurses to what REBOL was looking for, libtermcap.so.2. It works...ta d. Thanks! -- -tom

core 2.3 install woes howdy guys, just tried to upgrade to REBOL/core 2.3. I think it has already been mentioned that "upgrade" does not work. I grabbed the libc6 version for linux, and it failed to start because it seemed to be looking for a libc5 shared library. I got the old library, tried it, and now rebol just crashes. Is this a bug, or what's going on? version 2.2 works just fine. thanks, -tom
