[REBOL] why doesn't this work?
From: jeff621::yahoo::com at: 14-Mar-2001 16:25
this doesn't work:
write %params.txt {param1: false}
params: make object! to-block read %params.txt
returns: ** Script Error: false is not defined in this
context.
** Where: param1: false
this does work:
params: make object! [param1: false]
-- as you'd expect
and this works too:
write %params.txt {param1: "text"}
params: make object! to-block read %params.txt
And that's what's baffling me.
I'd like to store parameters in a file outside of my
code. I'd like to use an object inside the code to
hold the parameters. If I create the object inside
the code - then read the parameter file stored on disk
and over-write any values in the default parameter
object, it allows the user to overwrite only some
parameters.
So - why is a boolean value not ok in this context?
Any clues anyone?
thanks,
