Selective to-(data-type) Howto?

 [1/2] from: tim:johnsons-web at: 13-Jul-2001 12:04


I can do this: types: [to-integer to-string] ; block of data - conversion functions == [to-integer to-string]
>> tt: get pick types 1 >> test: tt "4"
== 4
>> tt: get pick types 2 >> test: tt 4
== "4" ; this is great? It allows me to do data-conversion selectively based on indexes ; parsed from a config file. To expand on this: Is it possible to extract a block of value-conversion functions directly from rebol? Thanks Tim

Not sure of your question, but wanted to point out that you can also do: some-types: [1 [email--foo] "string" #hash u:/ []] to some-types/1 "1" to some-types/2 "larry" etc... You can use TO and a representive sampling of what you want to convert something to. -jeff
