[REBOL] strange load behaviour
From: chris::langreiter::com at: 26-May-2002 21:13
I have a text file containing:
{
rebol [] 2^-
} {duh}
Upon 'load-ing I expect it to result in a block of two strings. Instead,
the "rebol []" seems to make REBOL load the first string too,
resulting in an ...
** Syntax Error: Invalid date -- 2^-
** Near: (line 2) {
Curiously, this happens only if the "rebol []" substring appears as
first non-withespace element after a line break.
-- case 2 OK --
{rebol [] 2^-
} {duh}
-- case 3 FAILS --
{
duh duh
rebol [] 2^-
} {duh}
-- case 4 OK --
{
duh rebol [] 2^-
} {duh}
-- case 5 FAILS --
{
rebol [] 2^-
} {duh}
I'm currently working with large email archives and that proves to be
quite demanding input data ;-)
