[REBOL] How to write files
I was trying the new browser plug-in with an app and I have run across a question. How would you suggest writing a file to another server (other than the one that is hosting the reblet)? I was using ftp but it doesn't seem to work in this context. I suppose this is a general question about writing files outside of ftp'ing them. Please forgive my ignorance of how these Internet protocols work. Thanks in advance, James -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
[REBOL] [style] Feeling REBOLish (was: Notes on seeding 'random/seed)
Good stuff, Gregg! I like yours better with two exceptions... randomize: func [ "Reseed the random number generator with 'now/precise." /with seed [date! time! integer!] "Enter your own seed." ][ random/seed any [seed to-integer checksum/secure form now/precise] ] It is more REBOLish to have an explicit refinement (just like 'random and 'random/seed), so this is a definite improvement. Replacing 'either with 'any is also an improvement. Part of the whole problem with 'random/seed in the first place is that there was not enough detail given to know the type of arguments accepted. I want to be specific about the usage _and_ the implementation. The user should know _explicitly_ what the seed is when the user asks for help (and not just when the user goes to the source i.e. >>source randomize). This info is often lacking in REBOL functions, especially natives. >> help randomize USAGE: RANDOMIZE /with seed DESCRIPTION: Reseed the random number generator with 'now/precise. RANDOMIZE is a function value. REFINEMENTS: /with seed -- Enter your own seed. (Type: date time integer) ... versus ... >> help random USAGE: RANDOM value /seed /secure /only DESCRIPTION: Returns a random value of the same datatype. RANDOM is an action value. ARGUMENTS: value -- Maximum value of result (Type: any) REFINEMENTS: /seed -- Restart or randomize ;

MAx: > but they aren't set on the notification sent to this list... Okay, okay! Enough people have asked for fuller information on the notices sent to the ML. I'll adjust the setting -- but probably not until the weekend. Meanwhile, here's two things you can do on www.rebol.org 1. As Ammon, says, log on to the Library, and set up or adjust your personal notices settings: --Control panel Update profile and personal preferences --Notices. Set what notices you want, how often you want them (the triggers) and how detailed you want the content. 2. Also, when logged on to the Library, you can get a sneak preview of the notices yet to be sent to the ML: --Control panel Display notices -- ignore the fact that it probably says you have no unsent notices. Click it anyway. --Display Mailing List notices -- this is a full set of outstanding notices for the ML Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.

[REBOL] Re: Rebol/ View dll do-browser crashing browser
Yes I do have the evaluate function.
I was replacing browse with do-browser so
that I could pass up code to the html page
to load the page in the _main browser
window. The search bar, which you see when
you click on the search button on your
browsers chrome, is in a window named
_search, so if you want to open a page in
the main window that called the search
window you have to have the following:
window.open(url,"_main");
anyway I really don't understand how do-
browser should be affecting this, I mean
that do-browser should only be called when I
click on a button in the rebol view form.
yet nonetheless if I start that page I get
the errors outlined on loading the page, yet
as also noted these errors are not 100% of
the time, but around 70%. The most logical
thing would be a memory leak somewhere, but
my system doesn't seem to be using any
excessive resources.

Subject: [REBOL] Rebol/ View dll do-browser crashing browser
Hi, I was adapting Kevin Adams search2.r to
be a searchbar in explorer, pretty much I
just went through and replaced browse/only
with do-browser some extra joins, it works
only, not very often, about 70% of the time
it crashes the browser, if the browser opens
with the searchbar window open it crashes as
well basically if the searchbar crashes the
browser once, it will restart about 3-4
times before it stops crashing.
I sort of find that annoying.
now it was completely fine before I added in
do-browser, only then of course every time I
did a search and clicked on the button it
opened a new browser instance. So I assume
it has to be do-browser, only as one can see
from the code here do-browser is also called
by buttons being pushed:

[REBOL] Re: function?
function? :forall you must supply a function VALUE for function to return true. if you don't prepend the function name by a colon, then the function is -obviously- evaluated. function? get in system/words 'forall is another way to do it... it even lets you find functions in objects. -MAx --- "You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun." > -Original Message- > From: Tim Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 1:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] function? > > > > This is strange: (to me anyway) > >> help function? > USAGE: > FUNCTION? value > > DESCRIPTION: > Returns TRUE for function values. > FUNCTION? is an action value. > > ARGUMENTS: > value -- (Type: any-type) > > ;; OKAY let's find a function > >> help forall > USAGE: > FORALL 'word body > > DESCRIPTION: > Evaluates a block for every value in a series. > FORALL is a function value. > > ARGUMENTS: > word -- Word set to each position in series and changed > as a result (Type: word) > body -- Block to evaluate each time (Type: block) > > (SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES) > throw > ;; test forall > >> function?

[REBOL] Re: function?
I'll add that a word of the form :word is a get-word! datatype. and using your (and my) example, the following form also works if you are in the global namespace (like when you're in the console) function? get 'forall get returns value of the word instead of evaluating it. -MAx > -Original Message- > From: Tim Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, March 22, 2004 1:51 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] function? > > > > This is strange: (to me anyway) > >> help function? > USAGE: > FUNCTION? value > > DESCRIPTION: > Returns TRUE for function values. > FUNCTION? is an action value. > > ARGUMENTS: > value -- (Type: any-type) > > ;; OKAY let's find a function > >> help forall > USAGE: > FORALL 'word body > > DESCRIPTION: > Evaluates a block for every value in a series. > FORALL is a function value. > > ARGUMENTS: > word -- Word set to each position in series and changed > as a result (Type: word) > body -- Block to evaluate each time (Type: block) > > (SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES) > throw > ;; test forall > >> function?

[REBOL] function?
This is strange: (to me anyway) >> help function? USAGE: FUNCTION? value DESCRIPTION: Returns TRUE for function values. FUNCTION? is an action value.
