[REBOL] Re: Problem? load %script.r - howto retrieve all!!??

Hi, Norman,
This isn't exactly an answer to the question as you posed it,
but here's something I do that helps deal with the situation.
Rather than having a REBOL file (*.r) contain a collection of
various parts, I prefer to
1) make sure that a single source file contains components
of a single specific concept, and
2) wrap the entire collection in an object.
I used to create source files that read like this:
REBOL [
...
]
foo: make object! [
...
]
with only a single object per source file. If the object
contained a method that was intended for stand-alone use,
that method was usually named RUN , so that I could type
at the console something like
generate-html/run %filename
If I wanted to be able to use the function from the command
line, I'd simply follow the object definition with an
evaluation of the RUN method with appropriate arguments.
The above strategy would help avoid clobbering globally-
defined words (or words defined in another source file)
and would allow the listing of the object just loaded to
see all its content.
More recently, I've started defining "bare objects" without
assigning a name in the file, such as
REBOL [
...
]
make object! [
...
]
This way I can say
glorp: load %sourcfilename.r
either at the command prompt or within another source file,
and control the scope of the loaded object more precisely.
However, the other benefits above still apply.
HTH!
