[REBOL] Re: How to parse a filename using wildcards

Great! It works!

Final draft code (to filter a directory), is the following:

foreach i read %/f/mydocs/rebol/. [
   f1: (find/match/any i "view*.htm*")
   if f1 <> none  [
      if tail? f1 [
         print i
      ];if
   ];if
];foreach

Have you any suggestion how to optimize, but maintaining the code readable?

Thank you!
