Bug in To?

 [1/5] from: pwawood::mango::net::my at: 28-Mar-2005 23:11


I found that "to" doesn't handle << >> properly if entered directly from the console :
>> to tag! "<test>"
== <<test>>
>> to string! <<test>>
** Script Error: Operator is missing an argument ** Near: to string! <<test> > but it does in a variable :
>> t: "<test>"
== "<test>"
>> t: to tag! t
== <<test>>
>> t: to string! t
== "<test>" Is this a bug or have I overlooked something? Regards Peter

I think REBOL gets confused whether it's all about a tag or about comparison or both. When typing
>> <<tag>>
REBOL shows: ** Script Error: Operator is missing an argument ** Near: <<tag> > To me it seems that REBOL means the last > being the operator. As you can see it also stands out in the error message! When I try:
>> <<tag>> <tap>
== false REBOL seems to compare the two tags <tag> and <tap> somehow HTH, Arie

Sometimes it helps to make a block explicit and see what REBOL thinks is in it.

== 3

== <<test>
>> second [<<test>> <v>]

So the issue really seems to be that REBOL does not support NESTED tags. When it arrives at the first closing > the whole tag is closed. Kind regards, Arie

Arie & Gregg Many thanks for throwing light on to the "problem". I'm going to enter it to RAMBO to make sure RT are aware of it even if they may not consider it a bug. Regards Peter On Tuesday, Mar 29, 2005, at 00:45 Asia/Kuala_Lumpur, Arie van Wingerden wrote:
