AM / PM time for the blind

Andrew, Joel: I can't seem to make this AM/PM thing work. If you could see the files, might that help? There is something fundamental i am missing. John

It could be something as simple as a typo. Probably best to start again from a empty file, and work one small step at a time, while making sure each step works as expected. For example, each step could be: * reading the text file into a block; * picking the right line out of the block; * loading the block to form rebol values; * getting the 'map function to work correctly; * enhancing map function to add AM/PM and HTML markup; and * writing HTML back to disk. I hope that helps! Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://zen.scripterz.org

Andrew: You were correct, putting it in a clean file worked. This has been very instructive. The next question is, the code fails when it hits an empty cell in the schedule, fails in that it moves the remaining cells to the left putting the table out of the correct headers.. The logical thought would be to replace the empty cell with TAB TAB which what Oracle supplies by default. This also causes the table to shift left to fill that hole. The codes we have used in the past are " --" or " * " and the tables in Excel didn't care. I tried 0:0 and it worked, except the output was " 0:0 AM "... Is there a way to make that nice-time return either " 0:0 " or better yet, make the code accept a " * " or " -- " ? Or simply an empty cell for an empty cell ? /John //John At 11:37 AM 9/1/2001 +1200, you wrote:

Andrew: I got it..! nicetime: func [time [time!] /local am] [ time/3: 0 am: pick [" AM" " PM"] time < 12:00 if time >= 13:00 [time: time - 12:00] if time = 0:00 [time: "*"] if time/1 <= 0 [time/1: 0] either time = "*" [rejoin [time time]][rejoin [time am]] ] This returns a <TD>cell</TD> with " * * " for a time value of " 0:00 " John At 10:04 PM 8/31/2001 -0500, you wrote:
