[REBOL] Simple newbie questions
From: meta:dimensional at: 29-May-2001 20:24
Hey Gurus,
I'm trying to piece together hints from the documentation on Core
with the "more to come" online docs for View. (I wish there was a
complete manual for View and Core together that made it all clear.)
Anyway, as an exercise to help learn this stuff while creating
something useful, I've started the following View script for
renaming files.
I have empty blocks for actions and am not sure what syntax will to
accomplish what I want.
I have fields but am not sure how to grab their values and do the
actual renaming of file names.
I can describe this in pseudo code but haven't internalized the
REBOL way yet. There are comments in the script below where I have
questions.
Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jamie
