[REBOL] A bug in file port?

From: gmassar:dreamsoft at: 18-Sep-2000 14:18

As per Core User's Guide 2.2.0, on "Ports Access to Files" page at section "Line Access", I tried as follows:
>> fp: open/lines %file.txt >> print first fp
I wanted the gold, and I got it --
>> forall fp [if find first fp "gold" [print first fp]]
I wanted the gold, and I got it -- And somehow the gold isn't all. == false
>>
All seems going well. For my curiosity, I repeated the last statement:
>> forall fp [if find first fp "gold" [print first fp]]
== none Opps. fp must be at its tail. So, I tried:
>> tail? fp
== true
>> head fp >> head? fp
== false It puzzled me! Is it a bug or is it me? I am still relatively new to REBOL in spite of my lonnnng experience in programming. Geo Massar Veteran programmer
