heh, you should study docs a little bit imo ;-) 'some is part of parse
dialect ...
'some - repeat untill "some digit" is matched
'any - repeat untill "no or more" digits are matched
thru - move "thru" matched string
to - move "to" matched string
'copy str to "something" - copy everything from current position to
something
, put result in 'str
etc.
