what's the best way of restarting a server application each night 
?  Use something like launch/quit .. between certain hours, but without 
setting some flag on the file system, how to ensure that it only 
happens once daily?

( encapped application )

If it's windows, I'd use Q.

a:  "123.456.789"

find/any/with   a  "*.456.789" "123"

none

plis help

The /with refinement allows you to use alternatives to * and ? wildchars:

>> a: "123.456.789"
== "123.456.789"
>> find/with a "x.456.789" "xy"
== "3.456.789"
>> find/with a "y.456.789" "xy"
== "123.456.789"

I'm not sure, what you're trying to accomplish.

In some cases I've done that Graham, I've also made a special "startup" 
EXE for a script that runs, waits a bit, the DOes the script, to 
give things a chance to shut down. I've also done it where the app 
was simple and I could just DO a module to refresh it. That gets 
trickier if you have a more complex app that maintains state and 
such.

My stuff has all been manually restarted, though sometimes remote, 
and not timed, but that shouldn't be an issue. Another thing you 
could do is put a shutdown timer in your script, and then have a 
CRON job run that starts a new instance.

I guess a cron job that signals my application to restart would be 
the best thing then

... REBOL has lots of repetition structures, doesn't it?

You mean for iterating through series? If so, yes.

yeah, that's what I meant. The brain just doesn't work sometimes.

Some of them are natives, and some are mezzanine code.

That gives you a choice: use the natives for speed, or the mezzanines 
for convenience.

I was just gathering a good minimum set for another introductory 
article. I think I'll leave most of the iteration bits out for this 
stage.

Or just point out the basics.
9/10 I just use 'loop or 'foreach.
Other people probably have a different preferred subset.

hmm, that's a good thought. I'll keep the coverage small: 'while 
'loop 'foreach should cover most beginner needs
It might be a good idea to menation 'break as well

I agree, but I use REPEAT also quite often.

find string numel only

I ask about help ?

Micha, you want to parse   1) IP network address (eg. 205.192.0.1) 
   or  2) rebol TUPLE! datatype (eg.  11.22.33)  ???

IP network address

>> "" = find/any/match "123.456.789" "*.456.789"
== true
>> "" = find/any/match "123.456.789" "*.456.7"
== false
>> "" = find/any/match "123.456.789" "*.456.700"
== false

>> ip: 123.225.255
== 123.225.255
>> "" = find/any/match form ip "*.225.255"
== true

s: "testse193.194.70.123 1080iiyyyuiyiy  234.221.23.5:3380"

how do to find address ip from this stringu ?

digit: charset "0123456789"
number: [1 3 digit]
s: "testse193.194.70.123 1080iiyyyuiyiy  234.221.23.5:3380"

parse s [some [start: digit 3 [number "."] number opt [#":" 1 5 digit] 
end: (print copy/part start end) | skip]]
;193.194.70.123
;234.221.23.5:3380
;== true

>> load "193.194.70.123"
== 193.194.70.123
>> load "234.221.23.5:3380"
** Syntax Error: Invalid time -- 234.221.23.5:3380
** Near: (line 1) 234.221.23.5:3380

ips: copy []

parse/all s [some [(port: none) start: digit 3 [number "."] number 
opt [#":" port: 1 5 digit] end: (append ips reduce [load copy/part 
start any [all [port back port] end] if port [load copy/part port 
end]]) | skip]]

>> ips
== [193.194.70.123 none 234.221.23.5 3380]

Uhh.. Better not LOAD yet... I see above, the pattern match using 
FIND should be done first.

Good ?

I is thank good

I is thank good

:)

ips: copy []

parse s [some [start:   3 [number "."]   number opt #":" 1 5 digit 
 end: (append ips parse copy/part start end ":") | skip]
]

== ["193.194.70.123" "1080" "234.221.23.5" "3380"]

not sure what you are trying to do, but the following is a better 
natural form once you get your string stuff INTO Rebol ... because 
REBOL will see it as its own datatypes, rather than as strings. [193.194.70.123 
1080 234.221.23.5 3380]

parse s [some [start:   3 [number "."]   number opt #":" 1 5 digit 
 end: (append ips load  replace  copy/part start end ":"
 " " ) | skip]]

[193.194.70.123 1080 234.221.23.5 3380]

What is correct - hilite, or hilighted? (in the case of meaning of 
mouse hilighted text)

or highlighted? :-)

Anyone know if there is a private group here for religous discussion 
of any sort

Ask Terry :-)

Or go and create one ...

Yeah, I would create one if one didn't exist - otherwise i would 
see if I could get added to the current one if it existed.
