[REBOL] Re: Getting version number of a Rebol Program.

From: brett:codeconscious at: 22-May-2003 14:11

Your idea of loading the script is probably fine, but depending on your REBOL version have a look at LOAD/ALL and CONSTRUCT to avoid inadvertently evaluating header elements. Construct is safer than Context and DO where the source block is potentially untrustworthy. Compare these: probe construct [title: "test" version: 1.0.0 print now] probe context [title: "test" version: 1.0.0 print now] Also don't forget that a header is made up of pairs of set-word! and values. Each set-word! is a value. So once you have your header block you could just do the following: select [Title: "test" version: 1.0.0] to-set-word 'version But this is probably better hdr: construct [Title: "test" version: 1.0.0] hdr/version Regards, Brett.
