Append lit-path

 [1/3] from: ammon:rcslv at: 18-May-2002 21:12


Hello Anton, Somehow your email program seems to be dropping your subjects. (or are you not typing them?) I have run into this problem sometimes and it has to do with the conversion of a lit-path to other data-types. Try this at the console;
>> to string! 'some/path/value
== "somepathvalue" To me that is *very* anoying! I personally think that it aught to leave the slashes in there when converting to string, but that is just me. Anyone else? HTH Ammon A short time ago, Anton, sent an email stating:

Well, string conversion of paths is consistent with blocks:
>> to-string 'a/b/c
== "abc"
>> to-string [ a b c ]
== "abc"
>> any-block? 'a/b/c
== true To preserve slashes, use form:
>> form 'a/b/c
== "a/b/c"
>> append %a/ form 'b/c
== %a/b/c Kind regards, Ingo
