It´s stated somewhere that HASH! and LIST! types are better for data retieval, by what factor and why exactly? are there any special sort or retieve commands or functions that are not documented? I habe´nt found any I´m using Blocks to try to implement a user list of 40-50 users. Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG

Hi Sharriff, 1. Thanks for the link to the SocketServer site. Interesting stuff. 2.Theoretically (I haven't actually timed it) LIST! is faster when it comes to adding and removing elements. If you have a lot of add/remove operations on a series than a value of type list! should be faster. HASH! is faster when it comes to looking up elements. If you need to speed up searches then HASH! should be much faster. I expect that the speed of looking up elements in hashes is offset by the time it initially takes to construct a hash! and to add and remove elements in a hash. Be careful when navigating in list series. Indeces do not work the same way they do in blocks. Try out these examples:
>> list: make list! [1 2 3 4] >> block: make block! [1 2 3 4]
<<quoted lines omitted: 4>>
>> first block >> first list

Hi list! In the application i'm now developping, I need a mean to time a response interval to an item. I could use the classical : start-time: now/time delta-time: now/time - start-time but this produce a interval in seconds... I should need an interval in tenth of second ! Does REBOL/Core 2.3.0.3.1 support any function like CPU ( ) in some other language ? Does anybody have any solution to this problem ? Thanks in advance !!! ;-) Christophe Coussement

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2000 06:23:22 +0200 From: Fantam <[Fantam--mailandnews--com]> To: [list--rebol--com] Subject: Rebol Hello all, Some time ago on this list, there was a discussion regarding usage examples of Rebol -- how people actually use Rebol. This is an interesting topic for various reasons, and I decided to share with you one way I use rebol. First of all, I have to specify that I program for "domestic" reasons, and not in a professional way. That said, I can now tell how I put my first steps of Rebol in use. What I wanted was a program that could detect if I am connected, and if so, upload recently modified files to a ftp server. The important thing was to automate everything, so it would run in the background with no user interaction. Since I use NT, I installed the scripts as services (services are processes that can run independently of the current logged user). The code was not very complicated to write, but to make the program run reliably took some time and revealed a couple of weak points or bugs with Rebol, some not solved yet. The two bugs related to the ftp scheme in Rebol are: a, Impossible to 'read filenames with spaces. b, Bug with 'exists?. With some hacks though, it was possible to accomplish the objective of the program, and it runs solidly for some time now. That's it. Maybe this will give someone ideas. Any further questions welcome. Note: RT are aware of the aforementionned bugs.

Hi Fantam, Thanks for your description. I use Rebol for generating and uploading my web sites. For this purpose it works admirably. Also, Rebol is a tool that has let me explore various problems that I've felt have been impractical with other languages (I'm not talking DCL now :) ). As a result, I've learned a lot. This is the first language I've used since DCL (shh..) that has encouraged me to build a personal script library. The reason is that I can see a payoff for my time. Inspired by Rebol's goal of being a messaging language, when I write a script for my library that reads a particular format I aim to write a complimentry export function for that same format. Moreover, I try to have the newly read data in a neutral information rich format (if there is such a thing). In this way, my hope is that these scripts increase in value over time rather than decrease which seems to be the lot of most software. Regarding your scripts. Like you I have a need to upload files, but I also have a need to download files regularly. I would appreciate it if you could describe how your script checks for a connection and how it has been installed as a service under windows NT. I've other uses in mind for such a capability. Thanks Brett.

Hi Fantam, a not really REBOL related question, but how do you start a rebol script as a service under NT? thanks in advance, Ingo Once upon a time [list--brando--rebol--net] spoketh thus:

 [9/55] from: fantam:mailandnews at: 20-Oct-2000 1:00


The basic tool is the SRVANY utility, included as part of the Windows NT resource kit. The kit is available FTP from Microsoft for NT3.51 and NT4.0. Easily adapted instructions are included with the program in the file SRVANY.WRI available on many places on the web.

On my setup, the rebol function 'connected? isn't reliable. I think this is due to the fact I have both a network card and a modem (pc cards on a laptop), so I had to find another way to check for a connection. The solution I retained is a batch file that loops and spits every minute the following standard NT command : route.exe print > route.txt The Rebol script on its turn reads every minute "route.txt" and compares it with the not-connected route (localhost). This is what I call the default route : default-route: {=========================================================================== Interface List 0x1 ........................... MS TCP Loopback interface 0x2 ...00 00 00 00 00 00 ...... NdisWan Adapter =========================================================================== =========================================================================== Active Routes: Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 2 1 =========================================================================== } So now, the following very simple check tells you if you're connected or not : forever [ wait 00:01 now-route: read %route.txt either [now-route = default-route] [connected: to-logic false][connected: to-logic true] either connected [ print "connected" do %whatever-you-want-to-do-when-connected.r ] [ print "not connected" do %whatever-you-want-to-do-when-not-connected.r ] ] Regarding your second question concerning NT services, you need a file called srvany.exe available for free from the NT resource kit (or some truncated version of the resource kit that you can download on the Microsoft web site). Hope this helps, fantam

How does one compress a directory and its contents? I have discovered no refinement for this property while trying to create a backup and compress utility for my CGI scripts. Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG

Hi guys! Excuse the naive question but:
>>save http://127.0.0.1/ %testfile.txt
connecting to: 127.0.0.1 Can someone tell me where REBOL puts the file? I´ve tried it at home and at work, the file is nowhere to be found on my Webserver configured as Localhost. Yes , I´ve tried using its DNS Name:
>>write http://isis/ %testfile.txt ( or save http://isis %testfile.txt)
and I´ve searched "Hi and Lo" in every directory for the file-> nothing!. Reading an existing file works though... Sharriff Aina med.iq information & quality in healthcare AG

 [48/55] from: bo:rebol at: 10-Nov-2000 10:34


Sharriff, In your example, REBOL just sends the text {%testfile.txt} to the webserver. The webserver most likely discards it because it isn't formed with a proper HTTP header. -Bo On 10-Nov-2000/7:31:42, [Sharriff--Aina--med-iq--de] wrote:

I'm now stopped in my developping work by following problem. I would like to store data into a file (on the HD) in a nested block structure, but I cannot find an elegant way to compose it from raw data:
>> b: make block! []
== []
>> append b "the-name"
== ["the-name"]
>> append b "123456"
== ["the-name" "123456"]
>> append b [123456]
== ["the-name" "123456" 123456]
>> append b ["123456"]
== ["the-name" "123456" 123456 "123456"]
>> write %_test.txt b >> read %_test.txt
== "the-name123456123456123456"
>> bb: to-block read %_test.txt
== [the-name123456123456123456] When I would like to get in the file something like : ["the-name" "123456" 123456 "123456"] or [["the-name"] ["123456"] [123456] ["123456"]] So I can use an easy-to-follow path notation to retrieve elements dynamicaly. Any idea ? Best regards ;-) C. COUSSEMENT

Sharriff, I'm not sure what webservers expect as a header when a browser requests to do an HTTP upload. But once you find this out, it should be possible to do an HTTP upload with REBOL. -Bo On 13-Nov-2000/9:38:24, [Sharriff--Aina--med-iq--de] wrote:

Sherif, Bo, if you can follow ( and would want to...) some pretty straight forward VBscript and VB code - there is an article on implementing a file upload facilities in asp and vbscript at: http://www.aspzone.com/articles/john/aspUpload/ The official RFC for file upload mechanisms can be found at: http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1867.txt Sheriff the sort of info that you will be looking for is in page 8 and 9. hope this helps. - Phillip
