parsing through # of characters
[1/2] from: norsepower::uswest::net at: 12-Nov-2000 1:01
I want to parse a string through to a keyword and copy text thru 100
characters beyond the keyword. How can I do this?
I thought this might work, but I've got it wrong...
if find file-contents keyword [
parse file-contents [
to keyword copy text 100 (append pages-with-keyword text)
]
]

Check out page 435 "Skipping Input" from the Rebol Core.pdf manual. This
should do the trick:
to keyword copy text 100 skip (append pages-with-keyword text)
I hope that helps!
