One-line Quine anyone?

 [1/11] from: sunandadh::aol::com at: 24-Nov-2002 5:23


Hey Gabriele.....Re: [REBOL] How dynamic can we be? That's super-cool!! And it's not far off being a quine -- a program that outputs a copy of itself. Rebol is currently lacking a quine on the main quine collection site: http://www.nyx.net/~gthompso/quine.htm There is a quine in the Rebol script library: http://www.reboltech.com/library/html/quine.html (Though it doesn't *quite* work as the script librarian has added standard headings). So, combining two recent threads, a one-line quine would be neat, as would a quine that displays its source in a pop-up window. My attempts have been a little pathetic -- so I'm not even going to list them. But I know lots of people on this list can do better. Sunanda

rebol has quines inbuild. save as script: rebol [content: true] s: system/script/header/content view layout [area s text join "#" length? s]

There was a thread on this before, so check that out on escribe. There should be a distinction between console and file quines. Here's my one line console quine: do s: {print rejoin ["do s: {" s "}"]} A file quine can muck about with system/script/header/file to find its filename, and a console quine can maybe muck around with system/console/history, but maybe these ways are impure . :) I tried to make both a console and file quine in one, but made an infinite loop...

Hi Sunanda 1) Line which reproduces itself as result:
>>1
==1 test:
>> q2: do q1: 1 q1 = q2
== true 2) string line which reproduce iself as result: 1.2.8 mold/only compose/only a: [mold/only compose/only a: (a)] 1.2.1 mold/only compose/deep a: [mold/only compose/deep a: [(a)]] --- Ciao Romano

This is not one-line, but takes the suggestion from Volker... You can edit it, update it, and save it... not only the GUI, but the whole script, with the GUI being updated in real time.

How about this... REBOL[] do a: {view layout[field 500 rejoin["REBOL[] do a: {" a "}"]]} 70 characters, complete with header and source in a popup window! do is a very powerful word... (: -- Carl Read

Hi Carl, what another great job you did ! It really wide opens my eyes for what REBOL can pack in so little space ... and this is valid for all the "stuff" coming from other contenders too ! Keep up everybody, Gerard P.S. May be I'll try to submit something by myself one of these days ...

Hi, Sorry, but I couldn't help myself: REBOL[] do a: {view layout[t: field 500 rejoin["REBOL[] do a: {" a "}"] btn do [do do t/text]]} I know, I know, 97 Characters, but it actually "evolves" or executes what is in the text box. You will notice different results depending on where you edit the code though. I found that the best result was to add code directly before 'view. ;-) Oh, and you need the newest beta or Link to execute it, to make it execute on other systems: do replace {REBOL[] do a: {view layout[t: field 500 rejoin["REBOL[] do a: {" a "}"] btn "do" [do t/text]]}} 'btn 'button It will add four characters, but if you shave all of the whitspace you can then it will balance out. ;-) Enjoy!!

It's a monster! I'm starting to think it will eat me someday. ;-) Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r

Hi, One problem, you control its growth, once you have it growing on its own I will be scared. ;-) Enjoy!!
