Compose words to get content

Hi, i made a small script to split a file. I use a series containing the rules how every row in the source should be splitted. The problem i have is when i want to compose the new lines from the rules. A little example should make it more clear: sourcefile: read/lines %/c/temp/sourcefile.txt tpath: %/c/temp/ map: [ ["filename1.txt" "1" "8" "q"] ["filename2.txt" "1" "11" "m"] ["filename3.txt" "1" "27" "m"] ["filename4.txt" "1" "17" "q"] ] foreach line sourcefile[ cells: parse/all line "," foreach mline map [ write/append join tpath mline/1 reduce [join "cells/" mline/2 join " cells/" mline/3 " " mline/4 " " newline ]]; -- Problem ] The problem i could not get rid off, is that i get an error saying cells/1 has no value . It is composed correctly but cannot be evaluated. So, why can the content of cells not be acessed. I tried every combination coming to my mind, but nothing worked. Please help!

Hi Thorsten Will this work for you? foreach line sourcefile [ cells: parse/all line "," foreach mline map [ write/append join tpath mline/1 rejoin [ pick cells to-integer mline/2 pick cells to-integer mline/3 " " mline/4 " " newline ] ] ] On 9/5/05, Thorsten Moeller <[tmoeller--fastmail--fm]> wrote:

Hi Graham, thanks for your immediate help. It works as i need it. Thats the way i was searching for the whole yesterday evening. Perhaps it was to late and i do not have "pick" coming to my mind. Thanks Thorsten On Mon, 5 Sep 2005 20:34:09 +1200, "Graham Chiu" <[compkarori--gmail--com]> said:

Hi Thorsten I didn't take the time to explain what was going wrong. I think you were trying this ...

>> reduce [ join "cells/" "3" ]
