World: r3wp

You mean like a PATH variable in a dos or unix shell environment 
?

As far as I know, do only looks in the current directory (as returned 
by WHAT-DIR) for relative files.

okay, that's what I thought. I was hoping that I'd just missed something.

It would be easy to roll my own "include" function. I might try that 
as a little project.

Yes, it's relatively easy. Just don' t think it's going to be quick 
:)

heh. I'll bear that in mind.

Actually, I don't know what you have in mind exactly so I shouldn't 
comment. But I and a few others have systems of our own, so feel 
free to ask how they work.

Isn't what slim does ? Holding paths for code library (scripts) and 
allowing to just slim/load %script-name.r where the file is in one 
of the folder in slim path !!

I mean Maxim's Slim !

quick newbie question .. how does one convert binary to string ?

no matter .. dehex

Note the subtle difference between dehex and to-string

And, if using a beta with AS-STRING, it's kind of a raw cast that's 
fast.

Nice, missed that one.

what is the difference anyway between 'dehex and 'to-string  and 
'as-string ?

>> A: [%23%67%68%69]
== [%23ghi]
>> dehex A

** Script Error: dehex expected value argument of type: any-string
** Near: dehex A               ;dehex doesn't work with blocks
>> to-string A

== "23ghi"                ;to-string converted it to a string and 
de-hex only some of the characters.
>> A: {%23%67%68%69}
== "%23%67%68%69"
>> dehex A
== "#ghi"              ;dehex works on all parts of the string

No idea about as-string, dun have that beta.

er whoops nevermind the first part of it - didn't realize it dehexed 
part right away lol

Hey that looks like a bug - it won't auto-dehex the first part of 
a block, but works on the rest no problem:
>> A: [%70%70]
== [%70p]

I think it's because rebol think its a file! due to the first percent 
sign

> A: [%70%70]
== [%70p]
>> type? a/1
== file!

>> A: [%%70%70]
== [%pp]

That's interesting... I wouldn't have thought that.. Thanks!

anyone got a parse rule that tells me whether the text constitutes 
a fully qualified domain?

Does REBOL/Core (or any other version) support the IMAP protocol?

yes .. limited

http://www.rebol.com/core-info25.htmlmentions IMAP and APOP

There is a difference between the IMAP protocol itself (RFC 2060) 
and the imap:// URL scheme (RFC 2192). At this time REBOL only supports 
the imap:// URL scheme, which has a subset of the full IMAP protocol 
functionality. It handles mailbox lists, message lists, retrieving 
and deleting of messages, and message searches, i.e. it is API-compatible 
to pop://, with added support for multiple mailboxes and searches. 
Move/copy/rename and other administrative IMAP functions are not 
specified in RFC 2192 and not supported by REBOL's imap:// scheme 
at this time.

which is what I posted to the list in Feb 2003

Thanks, folks. I know that IMAP itself is a bit of a muddle (based 
on profanities that I overheard from somebody who was trying to write 
a complete IMAP client for another language), but a subset of functionality 
is more than I knew about.

trace/net on
mbox: open imap://userid:[password-:-imapaddress-:-com]

there's a bug in imap as released in the current stable and beta 
versions which Scott and I fixed.

http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/IMAP

is there reverse to dehex "Documents and settings", simply some 
function to provide it "Documents and settings" and having replaced 
spaces etc.?

ah, to-url, sorry ...

rebol []
  
     secure [   net allow  file allow  ]

no security check .

I ask about help  ?

Anyone got a function to reduce a ip-address to a tuple ?

I mean, make something like 192.168.1.254 -> 192.168.1    .. dropping 
the last number

no matter.

Well I know how I'd do it in Perl or Ruby, but I'm not that far with 
my Rebol yet.

192.168.1.254/1 -> 192
192.168.1.254/2 -> 1

Hey, that's cool.

I'm writing a greylisting implementation for my smtp server .. and 
I needed to drop the last digits of an ip address to form the triplet

What about 
>> to-tuple reduce [first ip second ip third ip]
== 192.168.1

Graham do you want to compare the spammer ip address against a range?

Yes, because you could test   (ip * 1.1.1.0) = (ip2 * 1.1.1.0)

;If you do why not use comparison under mask? 

>> same-subnet?: func [src dst mask][(src and mask) = (dst and mask)]
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0
== true
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.9.5 255.255.255.0
== false

This version handles also cidr prefixes.

>> cidr-as-mask: func[prefix /local mask][
[        mask: make string! 34

[        repeat i 32 [insert tail mask either prefix >= i [1][0]] 
[        to-tuple load rejoin ["2#{" mask "}"]
[    ]  
>> 
>> same-subnet?: func [src dst mask [tuple! integer!]][
[        if integer! = type? mask [mask: cidr-as-mask mask]
[        (src and mask) = (dst and mask)
[    ]
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.5 255.255.255.0
== true
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.10.5 24           
== true
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.9.5 255.255.255.0
== false
>> same-subnet? 10.10.10.0 10.10.9.5 24
