Questions about the 'send' function

 [1/10] from: psa102::toward::com at: 6-Aug-2004 23:07


The Rebol Dictionary says that the send command has these two refinements among others: /attach /subject With these refinements, what would the format of the send command be? Would it be send/subject /attach address message {subj} [files] When I try this command I get an error that "attach" is not a valid refinement. Is this so?

builtin help does not mention /attach
>> ? send
USAGE: SEND address message /only /header header-obj DESCRIPTION: Send a message to an address (or block of addresses) SEND is a function value. ARGUMENTS: address -- An address or block of addresses (Type: email block) message -- Text of message. First line is subject. (Type: any) REFINEMENTS: /only -- Send only one message to multiple addresses /header -- Supply your own custom header header-obj -- The header to use (Type: object) On Fri, 6 Aug 2004, PSA102 wrote:

only in later versions ;-) from v 1.2.10 and on: USAGE: SEND address message /only /header header-obj /attach files /subject subj /show DESCRIPTION: Send a message to an address (or block of addresses) SEND is a function value. ARGUMENTS: address -- An address or block of addresses (Type: email block) message -- Text of message. First line is subject. (Type: any) REFINEMENTS: /only -- Send only one message to multiple addresses /header -- Supply your own custom header header-obj -- The header to use (Type: object) /attach -- Attach file, files, or [.. [filename data]] files -- The files to attach to the message (Type: file block) /subject -- Set the subject of the message subj -- The subject line (Type: any) /show -- Show all recipients in the TO field

From: PSA102 .... The Rebol Dictionary says that the send command has these two refinements among others: /attach /subject With these refinements, what would the format of the send command be? Would it be send/subject /attach address message {subj} [files] When I try this command I get an error that "attach" is not a valid refinement. Is this so? John Wirt ***************** Hi, John, Try: send/subject/attach address message {subj} [files] You were very close. Notice that the second slash refinement immediately follows the first refinement (no space). This is a general principle in REBOL that refinements are all together. While it may look more like just a path, in this case it is not. Then the objects for the refinements follow in order following any parameter required by the command. -Scott Jones

You shouldn't put a space before the /attach. ie, this should work... send/subject/attach address message {subj} [files] Note you can use any order for the refinements, just make sure the order of their arguments matches the refinement order. ie, this should work too... send/attach/subject address message [files] {subj} Hope that helps. -- Carl Read

Maxim, My goodness. What is v 1.2.10? I have REBOL/Core 2.5.0.3.1. OK, I'll bet I've just learned that what I shoudl be using is Rebol/View becuase it has a later version of the Rebol "kernal" functions than Rebol/CORE. What version do I need to order to get the /attach refinement to the send command? Thanks. John Wirt

Maxim, Now, I'm thinking 1.2.10 has not quite come out yet. John On Fri, 6 Aug 2004 23:30:24 -0400, Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch wrote:
