REBOL/Command words

 [1/6] from: coussement::c::itc::mil::be at: 29-Nov-2000 9:19


I recently bought REBOL/Command for professional purpose... I thought this version was based on the latest Core release as announced by RT itself : Command is a new addition to the REBOL product family that extends the features of REBOL/Core" by integrating access to operating system specific functionality such as dynamically loadable libraries, shell commands and applications, and various database data sources." on http://www.rebol.com/command.html But ... REBOL/Core 2.3.0.3.1
>> help decode-cgi-query
USAGE: DECODE-CGI-QUERY args DESCRIPTION: Converts CGI argument string to a list of words and value strings. DECODE-CGI-QUERY is a function value. ARGUMENTS: args -- Starts at first argument word (Type: any-string) And ... REBOL/Command 1.0.0.3.1
>> help decode-cgi-query
No information on decode-cgi-query (word has no value) I feel bad about it, because I've now to reengineer some features of my project to deal with this problem ! Any particular reason for this ? I hope that RT does not work with an unfair marketing strategy ! It should damage the perfection of REBOL... It should be great could RT answer on this. Regards, Christophe

I'm using 2.4.39.3.1 and there is no decode-cgi-query. Are you sure it's not a mezzanine (sp) function? Try source decode-cgi-query and define it yourself. -- Graham Chiu

Graham: You did me make thinking about another possibility : what if RT simply renamed the func ? I tried : REBOL/Command 1.0.0.3.1

USAGE: DECODE-CGI args DESCRIPTION: Converts CGI argument string to a list of words and value strings. DECODE-CGI is a function value. ARGUMENTS: args -- Starts at first argument word (Type: any-string) And found it back ! Thanks for bringing on the path of the truth ! BTW, my appologizes to RT because I mentionned something about "unfair marketing strategy". I was wrong ! ( :-/ ) Christophe

RT is probably mostly full time on REBOL/Express nowadays. Although I wonder the same, it seems to be the result of my complaints, that only one version of REBOL/Core should exist, and /Command components should be just some kind of libraries . It will probably happen, just give them the time and don't give up .... Cheers, -pekr-

Have you tried

There seems to be some inconsistency between different versions Nigel

I ran into this exact problem it seems Rebtech deprecated decode-cgi-query. The reason is that decode-cgi did the same thing as decode-cgi-query. I just wish they would have told us...... Bill CRS - Psy Sel/SPO, COUSSEMENT Christophe, CPN wrote:
