[REBOL] Re: adding line hints when building blocks
Hi Gregg, I've got close to what you want by using a "do string" to create a template for your files. This at least means you only have to do a string once. ie... ---8<--- rebol [] template: do "[^/none[^/value none^/mail none^/]^/]" file: [] insert file copy/deep template file/1: 'item-1 file/2/2: 1 file/2/4: [EMAIL PROTECTED] insert file copy/deep template file/1: 'item-2 file/2/2: 2 file/2/4: [EMAIL PROTECTED] insert file copy/deep template file/1: 'item-3 file/2/2: 3 file/2/4: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sort/skip file 2 ; (; print mold file ---8<--- This gives... >> do %test.r [item-1 [ value 1 mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] item-2 [ value 2 mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] item-3 [ value 3 mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ]] It's not quite perfect as line-hints for the item values are lost when you change them, ((because they're in the outer block, perhaps?), but the others are kept so it's almost how you wanted it. This is how the file would look with no values changed... >> blk: [] loop 3 [insert blk copy/deep template] print mold blk [ none [ value none mail none ] none [ value none mail none ] none [ value none mail none ]] So close. Grrr! (: Hope that gets you some way to where you want, anyway. Carl.

[REBOL] Re: adding line hints when building blocks
Hi Gregg,
>From memory I think the only way to add a line hint is by loading a string.
>> block-with-line-hint: load {[^/]}
== [
]
You can insert this block into another.
>> test-block: copy []
== []
>> insert/only test-block block-with-line-hint
== []
>> test-block
== [[
]]
But as far as I can tell as soon as this block is evaluated - it loses it's
hint.
I think the only feasible alternative is to form a string with the line hint
and indentation you need.
And I'd really like a pretty formatter for scripts too. Clean script is good
but I don't
want to have to add line breaks at beginings of blocks.
If I remember, Joel created style-x something
that mangled comments, but might be enough for just data blocks.

[REBOL] adding line hints when building blocks
Hi Gang, If you build a block interactively in the console, with newlines between items, or if you blockify a string with embedded newlines, the block contains line "hints" which are used when the block is printed, molded, etc. Suppose I want to build a block in code, which will be written to a file, and I want it to be formatted nicely in the file (i.e. with newlines and indentation). Is there any way to include formatting hints when building a block, or do you have to build a string and blockify it? I know RT has mentioned that it's less efficient to build a string if you want to DO it, but I haven't found a way to format a block as I build it.

Okay. Turn off Java and Javascript and Flash and go for a surf and see how long it is before you need one of those.

There's access to platform-specific stuff now in the commercial versions of REBOL so you can have what you want locally or on servers if you're willing to pay for it.

[REBOL] Re: No framework library for rebol ?
Hi, Frameworks, frameworks That is what a lot of ppl are saying, but what framework do you want? REBOL is extremely powerful and for most things it would be better to build what you need as you need it. With REBOL development time is greatly reduced, not because of frameworks, but because os the simplicity of the system. The one framework that seems to be lacking is better GUI controls. What is available is powerful, there is a lot of potential for the View engine, but I think that VID could use a lot of work. As for that, there are several different projects going on that are attempting to fix that trouble, one of which I might mention is REBOL Integrated Development Environment (RIDE) The RIDE project is coming back to life after having set dormant for a few months. I am working on setting up an IOS Server which will be designed to help developers work together on their own projects. The client to the server will include the tools of RIDE. Currently there is a powerful Face editing tool almost complete and an object browser/editor which will be the main script editing environment. The Object Browser will also have a built in debugger (work in progress) One of the things that will be available is some more advanced styles and a skinning system. The whole idea of the server is to provide a SorceForge type comunity for REBOL developers. I am looking at some version control systems as well The features go on, but for now let that suffice. ;-) HTH Ammon A short time ago, laplace, sent an email stating: > Perl, php, java every langage has now a complete framework for developping > and I don't see anything like that for rebol.

How could any of my code modify the local 'p ?
(I was doing a lot of stuff with index.r files, and
I also patched path-thru slightly).
How did the value of p get changed? How did the value
escape from the local context of the function to be

[REBOL] Re: call cmd
Hi John, You could use a call to a windows .vbs file. With vbs files you can do pretty much anything in windows 98/NT/ME/2K/XP - as such they can be a two-edged sword in the hands of a malicious user ;-). syntax: call myfile.vbs (For windows 95 you will need the Windows Scripting Host installed.)

Jason: > Something odd about http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/view1205042.gz > Any successes? Often when these things fail it's something gone wrong with the download. But I don't think so it this case. I just tried it, Win98, WinZip 8.1 (registered copy!). Th download looked successful, but WinZip says: "Cannot open file; it does not appear to be a valid archive" I tried to download a different.gz for comparison. RT stopped responding after about half the file. I signed up for an IOS eval last week and it took three days of failed attempts to download the application.
