[REBOL] Re: text-list/picked: extra internal behavior?

Hi Brett,
DOH! Thanks for the whack on the side of the head! I was looking right at
the problem and trying to solve it in the wrong way. I'm working on copy'd
strings (so I can restore them to their initial values when certain events
occur) so I was referencing the wrong thing when I used 'alter. This is the
solution:
clear lst/picked
foreach item items-to-highlight [
if find lst/lines item [
alter lst/picked first find lst/lines item
]
]
or slightly condensed:
foreach item items-to-highlight [
if found: find lst/lines item [alter lst/picked first found]
]
<< I'm not quite sure what you are up to here. >>
I'm auto-highlighting items in text-lists, selecting defaults basically. In
particular, our regional theatre group is holding auditions. Each hopeful,
as they come up, will be matched against the parts defined for each show, by
age (multiple fuzzy ranges allowed) and gender, and I highlight the parts
they match. Then the judges can select, de-select, and add stars
accordingly.
Thanks again!
