needle in a haystack
[1/3] from: deryk:iitowns at: 11-Aug-2001 16:06
I've a need for a script to search for the existance of a given list of files on a HD.
Rebol
was the first tool that popped into my head that sounded like it would suit the need.
I
looked at the script library and the dir-tree* recursive scripts but for the number of
files/dirs that need to be searched causes rebol (latest /view) to pork it (local test
on a
subdir in my $HOME dir has 14,404 dirs/files alone and segfaulted..).
So basically, I'm asking if it can be done with the latest version of /core and/or any
pointers to scripts I can use or glue together to get this job done.

Hi!
I did not try it, but maybe it would help to use
do http://proton.cl-ki.uni-osnabrueck.de/REBOL/bugfixes.r
or you could change the line
foreach item current-list [
to
repeat item current-list copy/deep [
This might help, because 'foreach is broken. (see
http://proton.../REBOL/bug-test.r)
Hope that helps,
Frank

I'll give it a try probably later on tonight and see what happens. I tried
the same script below on my Win98 box and it didn't exibit the same problem
but then again I doubt my Win box has even a fraction of files that my
Linux machine has. :)
