Read problem
[1/4] from: lpeters:tulane at: 18-May-2005 16:26
I run the program below
rebol[]
file: ask "name "
text: read/binary file
replace text "/cs/conn" "rebol"
write file text
and get the following
name %new.htm
** Script Error: read expected source argument of type: file url object
block
** Where: do-boot
** Near: text: read/binary file
replace text
>>
If I hard code the file in, it runs fine. If I try to get the same name
file from the screen, it blows up.
Does anyone see my error.
Thank for any help.

Lee,
Here's from a rebol console session:
>> type? ask "name "
name filename
== string!
>> type? to-file ask "name "
name filename
== file!
all you need is 'to-file.

Try changing this line:
text: read/binary file
to:
text: read/binary to file! file
HTH!!
