[REBOL] 'launch and scripts running other scripts.
From: reboler:programmer at: 20-Dec-2001 2:50
Please pardon me if this is a repeat, I don't think the first one went through.
----------------------------------
If I enter the following at the REBOL console, then the button works.
view layout [button [launch %feedback.r]]
If I save this as a REBOL script, and run it, then the button doesn't work.
Seems like a bug to me. If this is a security issue then 'launch could be configured
to always 'ask?
Anyway, I would like to be able to run a script that has, as one part, something similar
to the above.
I cannot use "'do script", because then the original script exits and the script designated
by 'script runs.
I have tried various combinations of
script: load file (or load/next or load/all)
view/new script (or view/new layout [do script])
Or even
parse file [from 'layout copy script to 'view]
script: layout script
view/new script
Nothing seems to work.
***Perhaps I should try some sort of face/pane operation? But I would still need some
way to interactively layout the script and then "view/new script".***
*** Please, I need ideas on how to run an arbitrary script from a View face button, while
keeping the original face open.*** (I am choosing the script from a text-list)
Essentially, I want a View script that will interactively run other scripts while remaining
open.
BTW: the following works when I enter simple text into the field, such as "area" or "text
{trial field} field"
view layout [f: field button [view/new layout to-block f/text]]
