[REBOL] Re: parse consumption

From: anton:lexicon at: 10-Sep-2002 5:16

Great Ladislav! That seems to have done it. I remember the discussion on this before now. It is easy to forget these little things. Your comments below made me realise that: if I remove a part of the input string, starting before the internal pointer, and ending after the internal pointer, then I should move the internal pointer back *before* I do the remove. This way there is no chance back in the parse dialect for the internal pointer to "realise" that it is after the end of the input string. I agree with your proposed behaviour for parse. I suppose you have submitted this idea to feedback a long time ago? It might also be submitted with more urgency because such a dangerous removal can crash rebol. Anton.
