Results 1 - 10 of about 14,000...

I don't know if this has been mentioned here before, but Google allows you to restrict search results to specific file-extensions, thus this... rebol filetype:r returns links to .r files with "rebol" in - ie, mainly REBOL scripts I would think. Of which there's about 14,000 it would seem. -- Carl Read

It would be impressive if there were that many *different* REBOL scripts out on the web. Sadly, Google is counting all variants of the same URL. You can see that if you try this... rebol mailing list filetype:r ....and click repeat the search with the omitted results included You should see around 12,200 -- most of which are variants of a half-a-dozen CGIs from REBOL.org. -- I don't now how many *different* .r scripts are indexed by Google (it's not an easy number to get -- even via the SOAP API). But if you page to the end of the claimed14000 results, you'll see that it stops at around 140 and says: "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 144 already displayed." -- Rixbot ( http://www.oops-as.no/rix ) says it has found over 1800 REBOL scripts embedded in webpages it has spidered. That may be a better estimate. I don't know how may duplicates that includes. Sunanda

Hmmm. By restricting the queries like this... rebol filetype:r -ml -search -id (and after clicking on omitted results) I get over 900 results, most of which appear to be scripts.

Yes - hard to say, but between 1 and 3 thousand would seem to be a good guess. -- Carl Read

I don't know either. The rixbot reads web pages into a string called 'content, then detects whether or not it contains a rebol script like this: replace content "rebol [" "^/REBOL [" replace content "rebol[" "^/REBOL [" rebol-header: attempt [ either block? temp: load/header content [first temp] [make error!]] If there is a rebol-header (e.i. 'rebol-header is not none!), I take it there is a valid rebol script, and I use the header for indexing purposes. BUT. A valid rebol HEADER doesn't always mean ther's a valid rebol SCRIPT. It could even be a header on its own, I believe... As for duplicates, they are legio, but I don't know exactly _how_ many. I may very well look into it sometime after the hollydays, in august/september. HY
