Error, bug or mis-use on my part?

 [1/3] from: Karl:Lewin:BNSF at: 24-Sep-2003 11:04


(This may be unclear, if so please ask questions so I can clarify) I am observing some "interesting" behavior using SAVE and LOAD Using this sample code: REBOL [] objA: make object! [ a: "blah blah" item: [ make object! [ n: make object! [ value?: "Letter N" ] m: make object! [ second-case: "howdy" value?: "Letter M" ] ] ] item: reduce item ] And doing this:
>> do %file-where-the-above-is-saved
Script: "Untitled" (none)
>> save %objA.save objA >> checksum mold objA
== 1710923
>>
Then in another session:
>> objA: do load %/c/proj/rss/myp/objA.save >> checksum mold objA
== 12690384
>> save %objA2.save objA >>
I would have expected the checksum's to be the same so I compare the two files containing the saved objects and at first check, they come out the same. When I check with whitespace being significant though there is a difference. Contents of %objA.save: make object! [ a: "blah blah" item: [ make object! [ n: make object! [ value?: "Letter N" ] m: make object! [ second-case: "howdy" value?: "Letter M" ] ]] ] Contents of objA2.save (extra whitespace changed to X's): make object! [ a: "blah blah" item: [ make object! [ n: make object! [ value?: "Letter N" ]X m: make object! [ second-case: "howdy"X value?: "Letter M" ] ]] ] This only seems to happen in a block of objects nested inside a containing object and when a closing ] is followed by an alpha character or a closing " is followed by an alpha character. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it is me trying to do something the hard way when there is an easier way to get the same funcionality.

[text on different whitespaces in a molded object snipped] To me this looks like a bug in mold, the following seems to work, though (at least on your sample data and /Core 2.5.6.4.2 ).
>> checksum trim/lines mold objA
== 2341746 (I tried mold/flat first, but this gives inconsistent behaviour like plain mold.) Kind regards, Ingo

A simple trim makes the same job.

Mold/all has not this side effect:
>> x: load mold/all obja >> checksum mold/all x
== 10116687
>> checksum mold/all obja
== 10116687 --- Ciao Romano
