[REBOL] [algo] Intervals and parsing

From: didec:tiscali at: 11-Mar-2004 18:24

[algo] Intervals and parsing Hi all, For one of my apps, I have to manage a very long list of integer! I need to know if an integer! is in the list, and i need to add it to the list. To avoid an infinite block of integer! that will overflow the memory for nothing, and considering the fact that most of the values will follow themselve, I use an intervals dialect and some funcs. The values are stored in a block, but consecutives values are replaced by first and last values separate by a minus sign "-". I.e. : [0 1 2 3 4 5 10 11 12 13 15 19 20 21 22] become [0 - 5 10 - 13 15 19 - 22] I use 2 functions, one to check if a value exists in list, and one to add the value to the list. I post the funcs here for 2 reasons : 1) Maybe someone would need it 2) Maybe someone can do better or simpler Anyway, comments are welcome DideC ----- SCRIPT ----- REBOL [ title: "Manage list of integer intervals" author: "Didier Cadieu" date: 11-march-2004 version: 1.0 ] intervals: context [ where: none included?: func [ "Return true if Val is inside an intervals block." itv [block!] "Block of integers / intervals (x - y)" val [integer!] "Value to search" /local pos brk ] [ res: where: brk: none parse itv [ any [ pos: set i1 integer!
