[REBOL] Troube Calling Function within Object
From: cribbsj::oakwood::org at: 28-Nov-2000 14:02
I hope someone can help me with this one 'cause I have been wrestling with it
for two days and I'm about to tear out what little hair I have left!
Let's say I have an object called player. Within that object I have created
a function called find-records. find-records expects a block to be passed to
it as an argument.
My problem is this: I want to call this function using the value of a
variable called table and return the value to a higher calling function.
So far, I have gotten this to work:
return player/find-records next request
(request is the block I want to pass, excluding the first value).
Now, let's say I do this:
table: "player"
How do I call the function now? I have tried about a million different
variations of:
return to-word to-path reduce [table 'find-records] next request
(I use return here because I am calling this line from a higher level
function and I want to return the value).
But nothing seems to work! Sometimes, it appears I was able to actually call
the function within the object, but then the argument won't get passed.
Sometimes, I think I got the function to be called WITH the arguments, but I
can't get the return value from the function to be returned by this line.
I have read and re-read the parts in the manual dealing with words,
functions, evalution, etc. and I just can't find what I am doing wrong.
I can email my script to anyone who needs to see it. I appreciate any help
that can be given.
