[REBOL] Re: Another question

Do you need to escape the quotes (i.e. is there source data that contains
> them)? If not, parse's behavior should be pretty darn close:
No, I am reading in this data from a port.

The point is, these escaped quotes should not be treated as grouping
constructs, but as normal text. So this:
\"Hello world,\" I said
should result in [{\"Hello} {world,\"} {I} {Said}].

I don't know, I'm trying to find "[" + "red" or "blue" or "green" + "]"
within a string, *find* it, not just see if a string matches it.
