Thanks a lot.
One more question not related to Rebol but I'm french and I don't know the
origin of the word foo which is often used in IT books. Could you tell me
more ?

There's the problem. In my simple example, the word SAMPLE
was set to a single string, and I used
parse/all sample "^/"
to break that single string into a block of "lines". In your
case, you've obtained the value of TEXTE via READ/LINES, so
it's already a block of lines.

That error message is essentially complaining that
parse/all foo "^/"
needs for FOO to be a string, not a block. In your case
just use
foreach line texte [
etc.
