[REBOL] Async Callback

From: charles::wardell::dendrite::com at: 18-Nov-2004 10:58

I finally managed to get the client and server working with Anton's support. I don't fully understand the callback mechanism. Here is the code for the test server below. Let's say I wanted to print the #'s 1 through a million but handle the events as they occur. Where would I put my print statement? Am I wrong in assuming that this is the way the event works. I would like to put some standard processing in the event loop but have no idea where to put it. do %/d/projects/rebol/rebolspaces/async-protocol2.r listen: open/no-wait tcp://:8181 listen/awake: func [l /local p] [ ;print "Server: A Client connected" p: first listen port: make port! [scheme: 'async sub-port: p] open port port/awake: do server-handler false ] server-handler: [use [ buffers ] [ buffers: copy [] func [port [port!] state [word! error!] /local tmp cmd buffer] [ if error? :state [print mold disarm state return true] switch state [ connect [ ;print "Server: connect" ] read [ ;print "Server: read" if not find buffers port [append buffers reduce [port copy ""]] print ["buffers length:" length? buffers] buffer: buffers/:port append buffer copy port while [tmp: find buffer newline] [ cmd: copy/part buffer tmp remove/part buffer next tmp ;print ["Server: Recieved:" mold cmd] print [mold cmd] ] false ;close port ] write [ ;print "Server: write" false ] close [ ;print "Server: close" close port false ] ] ] ] ] insert tail system/ports/wait-list listen port: none forever [ wait [] ]
