World: r3wp

I've been reading the docs both for the preprocessor and for the 
newer include.r script but I'm a bit confused, I wonder if someone 
could help clear it up for me. Here's my situation. I have view and/or 
SDK installed on a PC and a script sitting on my desktop. This script 
needs one or more library scripts which are available from web servers. 
How do i write the start of the script so that I can do all of;

1) Double click and have it run in view

2) Run the preprocessor so that I have an all in one script ready 
to run/copy somewhere

3) Encap it by dragging and driopping it on encmdview.exe or similar


I want to be able to do this without changing a single character 
of the script. I want to access the library files from a web server 
because here at work I often write scripts on various different servers 
and prefer to keep one copy of the libs centrally and not downloaded 
onto each machine.

one trick is to use something like:

x: #do [1]
either tuple? x [
    ; script has been run directly
    do %include1.r
    do %include2.r
] [
    ; script is being preprocessed/encapped
    #include %include1.r
    #include %include1.r
]

don't you mean:
	either issue? x [...

about include files being on a web server, the official prebol does 
not support that; i think that Ladislav's INCLUDE does, and I have 
a patched prebol.r that does support including from urls too.

Anton, of course i meant ISSUE?. sorry.

let me repeat it to avoid confusion:

x: #do [1]
either issue? x [
    ; script has been run directly
    do %include1.r
    do %include2.r
] [
    ; script is being preprocessed/encapped
    #include %include1.r
    #include %include1.r
]

Great, that works perfectly, as you said for local files.. I haven't 
managed to get include to work yet for remote files, is the patched 
prebol.r available somewhere? (your rebsite is down)

; would this work?
files: [#include  %include1.r #include  %include2.r]
foreach files[if file? files/1[change files load files/1]
do files

at least tihis version is buggy..

I haven't managed to get include to work yet for remote files
 - interesting, what did you try?

would this work?
 - how would you like it to work?

(#include is a preprocessor instruction, so it is being preprocessed 
usually)

it read all filenames in the block and inlines them. after preprocessing 
there are no filenames, so it replaces nothing. without preprocessing 
there is all the files content. in both cases i can do it.

hmm, files/1 may be a file! even in case the source was preprocessed

eeks, another bug..

...and if won't be a file! in case the source wasn't preprocessed

and the 'change inserts multiple items. should change position.

the äinclude would not, but the %include1.r would.

did you read http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/include.html

btw: foreach files [if file?...] is clearly not what you wanted it 
to be...

i guess i trash that version completely :)

the question was more aboutthe concepts than the implementation *whistle*

so, did you read the above mentioned description?

Can your include also expand blocks? then this would work
if not value? 'include[do 5ladislavs-include.r]
include[ all the main code ]

Not yet, thought its like prebol. sorry.

did now.

Can your include expand blocks?
 - INCLUDE takes only FILE! or URL! argumenta

than my exapmle needs an extra file

it is easy to allow blocks, though, because I implemented this functionality 
anyway

when 'include is inbuild it is no problem. but if the main script 
must include to include something and want own content too, would 
help.

; 'do of course..
rebol[]
if not value? 'include[do %ladislavs-include.r]
do include[ all the main code ]

no, then the include/link would be confused.

I am using the mouse-click method when I want to INCLUDE something. 
Don't you want to describe how it can be done e.g. in Linux?

(I mean whether you want to write a section describing how to do 
the same in Linux)?

i would try a bash-script and do the same as with the windows-shortcut.

will try. but i thought about viewtop.  alsthough that one can be 
patched.

this is the source: http://www.fm.tul.cz/~ladislav/rebol/include.rmd

Thanks.

When I #include http:///www.an.example.com/directory/script.rit 
gives an error that it can't find script.r even if I've appended 
the url directory to the include path ... maybe I'm assuming something 
somewhere

The mouse click thing works for me by the way :)

this works for me, did you try something like that?

>> save %test.r [rebol [] #include http://www.fm.vslib.cz/~la
dislav/rebol/lfunc.r]
>> print read %test.r
rebol [] #include http://www.fm.vslib.cz/~ladislav/rebol/lfun
c.r
>> include %test.r

(sorry for line breaks)

Andrew: I haven't published the changed prebol. (I was actually hoping 
for Carl to make it the default in the future.) The problem with 
it is that encmdview would still run with the standard prebol since 
it is built into the exe, so you would still have some problems. 
In the end, it's probably better to use Ladislav's INCLUDE function 
as it gives you more flexibility, and I guess it'll become the default 
too in the future.
