[REBOL] Re: Comparing path!

Hi Robert,
<< I'm sure this is again one of those things where I'm just not smart
enough... I would expect 'true instead of 'false with this code:
>> test: [type contact/company]
== [type contact/company]
>> text: "contact_company"
== "contact_company"
>> (select test 'type) = (to-path replace text "_" "/")
== false >>
When you do to-path on the string, it doesn't parse the string and create a
path based on the slash delimiter. The path it creates only contains one
element, even though it looks like it contains two because of the embedded
slash.
I'm sure somebody has a better way to do this, but since I don't know what
it is, I hacked this real quick to convert a delimited string to a path.
path-from-dlm-string: func [string dlm /local result] [
result: make path! none
foreach item parse/all string dlm [
append result to word! item
]
result
]
HTH!
