[REBOL] Find/any doesn't seem to find strings in blocks.. Re:(2)

From: rebol:techscribe at: 19-Aug-2000 21:44

Hi etcha,
>> help find
[...] /any -- Enables the * and ? wildcards. [...] Case 1:
>> string: "xdefgjkljyjkljweruiouz" >> find/any string "y*z"
== "yjkljweruiouz" Case 2:
>> block-with-string: reduce [string]
== ["xdefgjkljyjkljweruiouz"]
>> find/any block-with-string "y*z"
== none Should find's behavior be the same in both cases? At 12:00 PM 8/20/00 +1000, you wrote:
