aha cool

thanks

about word / value .. I see I there are functions word? value? which 
determine the difference between true-s

You mean like:
   word? true
   == false
   word? 'true 
   == true
Or:
   type? true
   ==logic!
   type? 'true
   == word!

in the first case true is a value and in the second case true is 
a litteral

Janko, you can avoid the reduce/compose by using this syntax
>> true = first [true]
== false
>> true = first [#[true]]
== true

I changed the function to this so I can have testcases structure 
as it was initially

unit-test: func [ tests ] [ 
	foreach test tests [ 

  prin rejoin [ "===================" newline "TEST " test/n ": " ]
		res: if/else word? test/r [ do test/r ] [ test/r ]
		print if/else ( (do test/f) == res ) [ 
			" passed"	
		] [

   rejoin [ " **FAILED**" newline " expected: " mold test/r " | got: 
   " mold do test/f ]   
		]
		print ""
	]
]

I added the line :: res: if/else word? test/r [ do test/r ] [ test/r 
]

we prefer to use EITHER instead of IF/ELSE

aha, I would like it better to.. if/else is gard to read.. but I 
didn't know it exists :)

thanks

great, it all works now

What about using:
 **FAILED**^/ expected: 
 
instead of:
 **FAILED**
 newline " expected: "

>> ? newline
NEWLINE is a char of value: #"^/"
>> ? lf
LF is a char of value: #"^/"

Thanks Oldes, I didn't know for ^/ and I also didn't know that I 
can type "?" instead of "help"

and ?? too

sometimes can be usefull :)

:) I didn't know for this too.. but I did >>? ?? to find out now 
:)

...what it does . thanks

Example; say you are trying to debug an app and you have to print 
the contents of a word to the screen.
say you set the word 'value to 10
displaying value to the console can be done by using; print value
returns the result; 10


where as using  "?? value " instead, would return the word name with 
the value of the word beside it
value: 10


This prevents you from needed to add debugging code like'
print ["Value: " :value]

Welcome Ben Bran...


This world is a crazy wonderful place of amazing people that can 
probably help you with any REBOL question you might have.

Yes, I suppose my newnewss is really glaring... Thank You Reichart!

These ppl can help you with many things ... from religion, to compose 
music :-)

Yes and I need all the help I can get Pekr  :-)

New to REBOL?

Read a Dummies book on it about three years ago.  Been watching it 
ever sense.  With R3 coming out, I'm going to give it a serious look.

Good. R3's gonna be cool. There is just still lots of work on it 
:-)

But - we will be able to cooperate and hence influence its development 
...

Yes, thats why I signed up..... so hope to get more involved with 
the development....

time permitting....

I see, your name is Ben Brannen...

Even before R3 comes out, you will find R2 pretty amazing...

And you may like thge new English translation of a French book; translated 
by Peter Wood, who is here as well. It's on lulu.com

Wanted to say Welcome to Janko and BenBran.

Thanks Paul

Your welcome.

I have another question about parse, if I may.. I am trying to make 
a parse block that will uppercase all letters after the . ! or ? 
. I did it just for dots, but I can't make it for all 3  ( one alternative 
is to call parse 3 times each time with different separator char. 
The problem can be observed here, and happens because [ A | B | C 
] pattern first looks for A and if it doesn't find a checks B , which 
means it will skip B if A is after B. Is there any way to say "use 
any of those chars - *whichever comes first" ? .. example where you 
can see the  problem:

== true

>> parse "A.B!C.D." [ any [ [thru  "." | thru  "!" ] mark: (print 
mark ) ] ]
B!C.D.
D.

>> parse "A.B!C.D." [ any [ [thru  "!" | thru  "." ] mark: (print 
mark ) ] ]
C.D.
D.
--- in first case it skips the C in second it skips the B ..

this is my code to uppercase after scentences : parse X [ 
				ANY [ [ thru "." | thru "!" | thru "?" ] 
						mark: ( uppercase/part trim mark 1 insert mark " " ) :mark 
				] 
			]

It works if I have just one kind of separator of if I have them in 
this order for example "a.b.c.d!e?" if I have ""a.b.c.d!e?f. "  it 
will skip the ! ? and produce "a. B. C. D!e?f. "

because it will skip over ! and ? to the last "."

hmm... do this 

parse source [any [["!" | "?" | "."] mark: (do something) | skip 
]]

Thanks Reichart.  Yes a good old Irish name (spelling changed when 
got to America).  If Ihave my numbers rights,  I'm 4th generation 
German/Irish/Swedish American and my daughter can add Spain and Mexico 
to her list.   R2 did keep my interest these years.  I'm somewhat 
at a loss to

oops typo sorry....

BenBran, you can click the pencil above the text edit field to make 
multiline messages.

Thanks, Thats much better.

Steeve: I solved it by doing 3 passes , one for each character (.!?) 
. Performance is not that important here as it's a client , but if 
it's possible to do it in one pass I would certanly like to learn 
about it. I will try what you proposed, Thanks!

str: "a.b.c.d!e?f. "
chars: complement charset ".!?"
>> parse str [any chars tmp: to end (uppercase tmp)] str
== "a.B.C.D!E?F. "

>> parse str: "assd.asd!d" [any chars tmp: (uppercase tmp)] str
== "assd.ASD!D"

Hi. I am struggiling to understand parsing & hoping for some pointers.

I have read everything I can find but still cant seem to use parsing 
for basic extraction of information from a number of lines (or even 
a single line).  This is what I am trying to do & would love sme 
help or links to documentation I may have missed please.


lines: {junk wanted line1 contentA rubbish
junk notNeeded line2
wanted line three content B rubbish
}
;I want to extract
;wanted line1 contentA
;wanted line three content B


;That is to say everything between "wanted" up to "rubbish" but including 
"wanted"

Thanks, /\/\
