Hi Charlie,
C> Didn't want to flood the ML thought I'd ask first.
NP. I'd actually like to see more traffic here, since it's open to
everyone. A lot of us spend more time on AltME and IOS, but not
everybody can see those, so general discussion is very welcome here.
C> Have a question on assembling a URL from parts, is this the
C> "rebol" way to do it ?
C> pop-url: rejoin [ pop:// user ":" password "-" mailserver ]
REJOIN is fine for that, though most of the time people just use the
direct lexical form; unless you have an - in the username, in which
case you use the block spec format with OPEN. e.g.
port: open [
scheme: 'pop
user: "Charles"
pass: "password"
host: mail.rebol.com
]
REJOIN is nice, in that is uses the first value in the block as the
datatype to return, so starting with a scheme automatically gives you
a url!.
C> Oh and I would like a REBOL3 World account please :D, how do I signup ?
I'll set you up. Zap me a private email with:
* your full name (first and last)
* your desired user name
* email address
