[REBOL] Path into a block
From: swhite:ci:bloomington:mn:us at: 13-Jul-2006 15:14
I could swear I have done this, or read it, but I must be making a dumb mistake. I just
want to refer to an item in a block of blocks, by an index that is not a literal (1,2,
etc) but an integer word that contains the 1, 2, etc. The following demo script returns
the following error:
(In summary, I can reference
<DATA-NAME>/5
...but not
<DATA-NAME>/<index-name> where <index-name> has a value of 5)
Thank you.
