[REBOL] Second request for help: globbing on a block of filenames Re:

From: joel:neely:fedex at: 7-Sep-2000 11:40

One possible solution is:

  >> stuff: [%cast.r %feedback.r %ftp.r %ftp.r~ %instinet.r %instinet.r~
  [    %lconfig.r %lconfig.r~ %nntp.r %notes.html %rebdoc.r %dummy.ftp
  [    %dummy2.ftp~ %readby.ftp]
  == [%cast.r %feedback.r %ftp.r %ftp.r~ %instinet.r %instinet.r~
       %lconfig.r %lconfig.r~ %nntp.r %notes.html %rebdoc.r %dummy.ft...
  >> foreach thing stuff [
  [    print [
  [        thing "^-"
  [        either parse/all thing [thru "r~"] ["pass"]["fail"]
  [        ]
  [    ]
  cast.r   fail
  feedback.r   fail
  ftp.r    fail
  ftp.r~   pass
  instinet.r   fail
  instinet.r~      pass
  lconfig.r    fail
  lconfig.r~   pass
  nntp.r   fail
  notes.html   fail
  rebdoc.r     fail
  dummy.ftp    fail
  dummy2.ftp~      fail
  readby.ftp   fail
  >>

This depends on the fact that the parse only succeeds if it can find
r~
and, in doing so, arrive at the end of the string.
