Fast replace
[1/4] from: kpeters::otaksoft::com at: 7-Aug-2008 19:46
Hi ~
given a series like
[
"joe" 155 a-word [ another-word 122 22 "word" "-" [ more-words 122 "' ] ]
]
what is a *fast* way to replace all occurrences of "-" with another string?
Note that the nesting levels and series composition may vary.
Thanks for all suggestions
Kai

This may or may not work depending on context and what the block may hold, but it should
be very fast...
>> blk: ["joe" 155 a-word [ word-3 122 22 "word" "-" [ word-4 122 "-"]]]
== ["joe" 155 a-word [word-3 122 22 "word" "-" [word-4 122 "-"]]]
>> blk: load replace/all mold blk "-" "at"
== ["joe" 155 a-word [word-3 122 22 "word" "at" [word-4 122 "at"]]]
Alternatively, I'd assume you'd need to recuse through the block, with using parse probably
being the fastest way.

rule: [any[into rule |["-" here: (change back :here "foo")]| skip]]
parse blk rule
