[REBOL] Re: replace
From: jelinem1:nationwide at: 26-Jun-2001 14:15
Are you are referring to the fact that the string you specified to
replace, "fabulous", is not in the main string "foobar"? Or that you are
trying to replace a string with itself?
In the first case, no search/replace tool I've used has complained (esp
given an error) that zero replaces were made.
The second case I can't see as an error - except maybe a programmer error.
Certainly not a language error, or one that would interrupt the 'replace.
It is simply a trivial case of 'replace.

Subject: [REBOL] replace
Please help me to understand 'replace. Why doesn't the following return an
error?
>> a: "foobar"
== "foobar"
>> c: "fabulous"
== "fabulous"
>> replace a c c
== "foobar"
>>
