[REBOL] Block Creation
From: carl:cybercraft at: 18-Oct-2000 21:13
Here's a block query...
>> block1: []
== []
>> block2: to-block ""
== []
The above would appear to have created identical blocks, but as the
following little script shows they're not the same...
rebol []
for test1 1 5 1 [
block1: []
insert block1 "text1"
]
prin "block1: " print block1
for test2 1 5 1 [
block2: to-block ""
insert block2 "text2"
]
prin "block2: " print block2
The output from this is...
block1: text1 text1 text1 text1 text1
block2: text2
I'm assuming this is normal REBOL behaviour and not a bug, (and I
know...
block1: [] clear block1
would've given the same results as with to-block), but what's the
point of the difference?
