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... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2000 8:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
