strings and things
[1/6] from: depotcity:telus at: 10-May-2001 13:10
Hello again.
Back to basics again.
New question.
here is a string read from a text file...
str: {word1 word2 "a string"}
How does one take str and make it usable?
eg: blk: [word1 word2 "a string"]
where word1 and word2 are words.. and
a string
is a, er, string?
I know I knew this a some point, but suffering from Rebol overload.
Thanks

Actually, all that is necessary is to do:
>> str: {word1 word2 "a string"}
== {word1 word2 "a string"}
>> blk: load str
== [word1 word2 "a string"]
>> type? blk
== block!

do or load, depending on if you want to use it now or later.

Maybe I didn't read this thread carefully, but won't
this work?:
>> str: {word1 word2 "a string"}
== {word1 word2 "a string"}
>> blk: to-block str
== [word1 word2 "a string"]
