I haven't done much actual programming in REBOL yet, so I hope I'm not
talking out of turn, but here we have an industry-specific terminology that
seems like an application for dialecting. Would that apply? I'd love to
see how it's done...

Subject: [REBOL] can rebol strip this type of text file? Re:
Hi Keith,
its trivial to do that in REBOL. You have a number of different choices.
The most elegant way to do it would be to use parse.
Take a look at the documentation under parse. Let me know if you have
questions.

hi all
i am new to scripting (rebol and python) and was wondering if it was
capable of doing to the following and if so..how?
the following is an example of what i need to strip and turn into a tab
delimited file..
the entries are from a music database that is updated weekly..it is in
lotus notes so i export from there and it dumps this file out with the new
titles for the coming week (here the 19th June)
i only need to get the rows with the double astericks at the start (i put
those in for this post, they are not there in the normal file) and then
strip the words at the start and then put a tab in between them so i can
bring it into excel for the sales team to look at i would need a first
row to describe each column also maybe something like
Title tab Artist tab Cat no tab APN etc etc
the tracklisting is a little more complicated as it has multiple tracks
within the row..they are seperated by commas
i think that it won't be that hard but i had no success in perl so i
thought i might try rebol or python...
thanks in advance
keith
