I can't tell all of you enough how much I appreciate
this mailing list. As a programmer who earns my
living in "C/C++" and doesn't have a RD budget
this is wonderful!
I'm getting the impression from the various discussions
of this thread, that parse is very powerful function
that needs much investigation.
From the clarity of Sterling and Elan's messages,
I am hopeful that we will see much revealed in the
Official Guide.
parse is going to be a major tool when/if I implement
rebol professionally. I'm sure that I will have more
questions, and perhaps a tutorial will come of it.
Maybe I'll do it. In six months. Hah!!
Thanks so much
tim

Fair enough.
I have little time to give a complete course on parse so I went for
the shortest version.
Yikes! Of course. I was worried that tim may eventually want to exclude
spaces from his parse rule, and then he'd be frustrated, because he
wouldn't know how to control space parsing.
(Actually, I'd already written my response, and before I sent it off I
checked my email to avoid duplicate answers, and lo and behold, there was
your message. But I'd chosen a slightly different approach, and I thought
it was still worth mentioning it ...)
So he gets more than he asked for ;-).
I expected to see a few other responses to this
thread as well and sure enough the old-time REBOL-masters of the
outside world give a more full answer than us insiders have time for.
Time? I have time? ...
Me?
Take it easy guys,
Sterling
You to Sterling.
