to-rebol-file

 [1/3] from: fantam:mailandnews at: 1-Apr-2001 5:00


Hello all, In the document covering Rebol 2.5 changes, I read: TO-LOCAL-FILE and TO-REBOL-FILE functions can be used to convert to and from the local OS file path formats. However, on the console:
>> to-rebol-file "c:\test\"
** Script Error: to-rebol-file has no value fantam -- [fantam--mailandnews--com]

Hi Fantam Yes, contrary to the docs, both to-rebol-file and to-local-file are missing in Core 2.5. CC'd to feedback. -Larry

Thanks. You are right. At the moment to-rebol-file and to-local-file are only defined in the Windows versions of Link and View. The functions should not have been listed in the Core 2.5 changes document. Anyhow, we will probably make these functions available in future versions of all REBOL products. -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]
