[REBOL] Re: Create words dynamically

From: greggirwin:mindspring at: 5-Mar-2006 13:22

Hi Thorsten, TM> How can i create words dynamically from the content of a block and use TM> these words for filling them up with new content like this: TM> words: [ "phhtmcl" "phhocml" ] TM> content: [ "phhtmcl/111" "phhocml/222" "phhtmcl/333" "phhocml/444"] ... TM> These words should be filled with with an other foreach loop on the TM> content-block, where the first part is the indicator in which word the TM> content should stored an the second one ist the content itself. how can TM> i use these created words in the following scriptparts? Something like this?
>> words: [ "phhtmcl" "phhocml" ]
== ["phhtmcl" "phhocml"]
>> content: [ "phhtmcl/111" "phhocml/222" "phhtmcl/333" "phhocml/444"]
== ["phhtmcl/111" "phhocml/222" "phhtmcl/333" "phhocml/444"]
>> foreach word words [set to word! word copy []]
== []
>> foreach cmd content [word-val: parse cmd "/" append get to word! first word-val load seco
nd word-val] == [222 444]
>> phhtmcl
== [111 333] The long line that parses the command and loads the data will no doubt need some tuning, and would benefit from being broken apart, but you get the idea. Now, what I have to ask is: What is the real goal and use? I know if often seems easy to expose REBOL, load files and just DO them. If that's the case, then why the string formats? If the goal is for users to create files that make the app more dynamic, why not use a dialect? -- Gregg
