[REBOL] Find Directory? Re:(3)
Gee, there is no wonder why my stuff dont run the first time... What you shown actually works, the to-file as I indicated is useless, since you already specified the filename as a file. Anyways here is my scribbles for code that demonstrates your doing the right thing: rebol [] forever [ filename: to-file ask "file: " directory: read %./ ;read the directory into a block found: find directory filename if found [ print rejoin ["Found: " first found ] ] ] Your bug is unlisted, try running a trace on it. --Ryan "Fishing baskets are employed to catch fish; but when the fish are got, the men forget the baskets; snares are employed to catch hares; but when the hares are got, the men forget the snares. Words are employed to convey ideas; but when the ideas are grasped, men forget the words." --Chuang Tzu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: that did the trick duh again...

[REBOL] Find Directory? Re:
to check if a %filename is a directory use dir? %mails == true dir? %mails/ == true dir? %nox ;non-existent == false dir? %nox/ == false what is blablabla? it has to end with "/", then it works. there is dirize %filename == %filename/ to help. volker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 6-Sep-2000/17:06:55-5:00 I am writing some code which takes user input in a form and then checks to see if the user input is a directory name or not.
