Why not: v: to-string replace/all reduce [ all[refa "a"] all [refb "b"] all [refc "c"]] none "" print select ["" "no refs" "a" "refa" "b" "refb" "ab" "refa & b" "c" "refc" ac "refa & refc" "bc" "refb & refc" "abc" "refa & refb & refc"] v I find it more rebolesque. It is easy to mantain. It is fast. It is not C-like. It can be also more simple, but less readable: print select [[none none none] "no refs" [true none none] "a"...] reduce [ refa refb refc ]
