[REBOL] How to Parse a Nested Block
From: tim::johnsons-web::com at: 17-Sep-2001 14:50
I swear I'm as dumb as stump when it comes to parsing: but
I've got "problem" whose "solution" should enlighten me immensely.
Here 'tis:
I want to parse rebol code so that I "extract" the interface block
from a function.
The following script "isolates" the code in a block, but not if
there are inner blocks:
rule: [thru "[" copy block-contents to "]" (print block-contents)]
parse/all {["This is a block"]} rule
; returns:
This is a block
; okay, that's what I want. Cool!
parse/all {[text[string!] size[integer!]]} rule
; returns only
[text[string! ; bummer, not what I wanted
; I wanted to see: text[string!] size[integer!]
; in other words parsed to the matching closing bracket
; What else to I need to do?
TIA
Tim
