[REBOL] Re: [TYPE] weird return value
From: joel:neely:fedex at: 21-Apr-2004 14:30
Hello, all...
Consider this:
>> reduce [type? /home/http/run/cohen/birds]
== [refinement! /http /run /cohen /birds]
So each element of the path-looking thingie is treated as a distinct
value, and what gets printed is the last one, just as in
>> type? 1 2 3 4
== 4
Hope this helps!
