[REBOL] Re: Can this be done?

From: antonr:iinet:au at: 24-Apr-2003 3:05

Try this out:

	>> get MSG-ID: to-word append "MSG-" "002"
	== "This is message number two"

then

	alert [ get MSG-ID "CLEAR" ]

You will need to do your own zero padding.
But why not convert the id string to an integer?
Can't you put all messages in a block?:

	id: to-integer "002"
	msg: [
		"message one"
		"message two"
	]
	alert reduce [pick msg id "clear"]

or maybe

	>> msg: [001 "message one" 002 "message two"]
	== [1 "message one" 2 "message two"]
	>> select msg to-integer "002"
	== "message two"
