Bug in delete?

 [1/3] from: reboler:programmer at: 28-Feb-2002 9:08


The following does not work, from the /Core Guide in the Files Section: A block of files within the same directory can also be deleted: delete [%file1 %file2 %file3] See the console output below. Is this a bug or a feature? ;) The source for 'delete shows it will not accept a block! Did I miss another function that will delete all files in a block? ( besides... forall my-block [delete my-block/1])
>> write %test.1 "test1" >> write %test.2 "test2" >> write %test.3 "test3" >> list-dir

While we're chipping in bugs in random, spot the difference in these (reported to Feedback a while back) random 2 ;; integer -- returns 1 or 2 random 2x2 ;; pair -- returns 1x1, 1x2, 2x1 or 2x2 random 2.2.2 ;; tuple -- returns 0.0.0 thru 1.1.1 Sunanda

Interesting. Here's another version of 'forever for you... a: 1.1.1 while [a/1 <> 255][a: random 255.255.255] I guess with tuples a special case is needed so that random 255 returns from 0 to 255 instead of from 1 to 255. -- Carl Read
