Embedded REBOL in emails

 [1/6] from: edanaii:cox at: 24-Aug-2002 8:09


As some may recall, I created a program that executes REBOL commands in email. It worked fine for a while, but recently, it started blowing up when it tried to execute the command sent to it. The error follows: = Execute this! > If find Letter/Header/Subject Me Do Letter/Header/Content ** Script Error: > is missing its value2 argument ** Where: Rules ** Near: > Wait 0:00:05 The statement "Do Letter/Header/Content" is the statement that was executing. It contained a REBOL command to "Wait 0:00:05", nothing more complicated than that. I'm still a relative newbie to REBOL, so I'm sure it's something simple. I seem to recall some differences between the DO and the LOAD command. Should I be using LOAD instead? Any and all advice greatly appreciated. -- Sincerely, | We're Human Beings, with the blood of a million Ed Dana | savage years on our hands! But we can stop it!

Is that on Amiga Ed? As there's problems with wait on Amiga. Try this... loop 10 [ print 1 wait 1] I usually can't get to the end of that loop without REBOL locking up. (Ctrl C needed to close the Console.) If you find that's the problem - report it to feedback. It's an annoying bug, and it wouldn't hurt to have RT reminded about it again before they bring out the next release of REBOL. (; -- Carl Read

Damn it, Gabriele! :) I think you are on to something. I remember forwarding some messages to the mailbox, that may have been one of them (but I'm not sure). I guess I'm gonna have to try it again later and make sure it isn't quoted. -- Sincerely, | What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! Ed Dana | How infinite in faculties!

Nope. Definitely not on an Amiga. It's on an AIX Risc 6000.

Problem is, I've tested before, and it worked fine. I've also used Print (that had better work under Amiga :), and a few other simple REBOL commands. Gabriele may be on to something. I did forward some messages, that might have been one of them, M$ Outhouse probably quoted it. -- Sincerely, | What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! Ed Dana | How infinite in faculties!

Yea, that was it. Thanks for the sharp eye, Gabriele. When I forwarded it, I took out the "FW:" as well as the extra stuff that M$ Outhouse puts in, but it looks like it put in the quoting after I sent it. -- Sincerely, | Ed Dana | Life's but a knife's edge, anyway.
