parse files-block [file!] returns false
[1/3] from: steve::shireman::maxonusa::com at: 7-Nov-2000 10:37
I am probably infected here by awk thinking, but I would like to be able
to parse a block of files using block parsing, and I think the docs do
not mention the file! datatype for Matching.
; if I resist obeying the manual and try it anyway
>> files_block read %. ;list of files in current directory
>> parse files-block [file!]
==false
Is this intentionally not allowed? or am I looking at it wrong?
Thanks,
Steve Shireman

1) it's not cut from the console, is it? your first line uses files_block
while your second one files-block
2)
>> files_block: read %.
== [%public/ %rebl.exe %user.r %rebol.r %rebol.exe %browse-system.r %games/

== true

Petr,
Thanks--got me off dead center. I didn't have the some in there,
besides my email typo.
Nice to get quick help--even cooler that its from a country farther away
than California...
