the top of my screen behind the taskbar, so I can't easily turn it
off...may be a unique problem with my system. ds

Hi Brett,
change
cell-data: {}
to
cell-data: copy {}
This ensures you get a new empty string each call.
Cheers,

Subject: [REBOL] Parser seems to have bug - different
But, now I'm confused. Why is that different to what I had? Or, why didn't
I get a new empty string each call previously?
It's one of the differences Rebol has with other languages. When you assign
a string to a word, like this:
s: ""
You're literally assigning 's to the string just
The colon ":" is the set-word operator, which is literally:
set the word to the left to point to the right.
Which is not quite assignment in conventional languages.
I hope that helps!
I think it will.hopefully. :\
Thanks.
Brett.
Hi Brett,
maybe this little func 'll show you what's happening ...
test: func [] [
s1: ""
s2: copy ""
append s1 "Hi, I'm changed"
append s2 "I'm not ..."
source test
]
test
test: func [][
s1: "Hi, I'm changed"
s2: copy ""
append s1 "Hi, I'm changed"
picks jaw off ground/
Thanks Ingo,
I'll just have to go away and reassemble some brain patterns...
Brett.

Some time back. Brian Hawley referred to a discussion on Contexts. Which at
first I could not find.
However spurred on by my misunderstanding of what Rebol is doing, I made a
renewed attempt to find the discussion and was successful.
See the thread "Contexts, and related ideas" in...
