compose [<a href="/rest-cart/ordet/ (to-string session/id) "> "Bezahlen" 
</a>]

Of course this doesn't work. But converting the TAG to strings and 
than combining it all didn't work too.

And why this:

>> rejoin [<a href="test"> "Test" </a>]
== <a href="test"Test</a>>

This works but is ugly:

>> rejoin [<a href="test"> "Test" </a>]
== <a href="test"Test</a>>

sorry, I mean this:
>> to-tag rejoin [{a href="test">} "Test" "</a"]
 
== <a href="test">Test</a>

Robert, what about BUILD-TAG?

;) He, he... to may functions to remember. Yep I think this works 
too and looks better.

Money: And way to get rid of the $ sign? I need Û at the end.

second $3.4
== 3.4

Without REMOVE etc.

Ah, cool. Didn't know this. Always something new after so many years...

Just tried it with R3-alpha ..... It does  not work.
I'll report it in Curecode.

Good, at least it helped to catch a bug.

:-)
  to-decimal $3.4

works in R3 but not R2.....So it may be a change of behavior, not 
a bug. Look out for reponse to curecode #807

But does it give the trailing 0 in R3?

Does not look like it:
    >> to-decimal $3.4
    == 3.4

Looks like to-decimal will be the R3 way:

How can I track the number of times a word/phrase occurs in a string!
I tried this: 
	if find str "a phrase" [print "found phrase"]
but it seems to only find the first occurance.

is that a joke ?

use parse

There are examples on Rebol.com on how to use parse to count occurences 
ot tags etc.

of course it would be nice to have something like find/all which 
returns a block of all the occurences

Steeve... this is not the humour group!

hmm...
 i: 0 while [str: find/tail str "a phrase"][i: i + 1]

parse str [any [thru "a phrase" (print "found phrase")]]

but it would be more relevant to post such request in "i'm new"

I'm using to highlight parts of strings in a face during a text search. 
so I need to find caret offsets for each and append to the face/effect/draw 
block

findall: func [ st occurrence /local result ][
	result: copy []
	while [ st: find st occurrence ][ append result st st: next st]
	result	
]

>> findall "testing" "t"
== ["testing" "ting"]

in that case, would you want the indexes?

graham's solution does exactly that

something like that has also been proposed for R3.

findall: func [ st occurrence /local result ][
	result: copy []

 while [ st: find st occurrence ][ append result index? st st: next 
 st]
	result	
]

>> findall "testing" "t"
== [1 4]

would it be too clever to return the block at the positions instead 
of the index?

he just needs the offsets

a reference or an offset is the same thing to my mind

whereas a reference fullfills more use cases

but can't be molded

and loaded back

Thanks Graham, I had something almost like that func but not quite...

This is an example of the code I used but it only hi-lites first 
occurance: 

if find face/text butt [
						hs: caret-to-offset face find face/text butt
						he: caret-to-offset face find/tail face/text butt
						fsize: face/size/x
						draw_contents: copy face/effect/draw 
						get_xys ;(Find the shape of the drawn hi-lite)
						append face/effect/draw compose/deep [(shape)]
					]

If you know the length of text "butt" you don't need to find the 
end .. just calculate it, as it should be faster.

amacleod, I wrote some efficient string search functions. The file 
has simple, first implementations alongside some efficient implementations 
which use PARSE.

I'll check it out.  thanks, Anton.

I got it working...

Sort of inserted my hi-lite mapping code into Graham's function...
Thanks again, Graham!

It allowed me to step through the face one find after another. Exactly 
what I wanted to do.

I'm having a problem with call.


when I use the /output/error and supply  strings , I get a strange 
error in the stdout holding string:

Unable to read from standard input: The handle is invalid.


the really strange one is that if I use /console, the expeted out 
is effectively printed out to the rebol console.... so the cmd does 
return data and rebol is able to handle it, but not within the /output/ 
refinement!


also, another call, using another command, works as expected... so 
I don't think I have a error in my code.

not that I have tried using /shell and it didn't help

has anyone seen /output and /console react this way?

not=note

maybe you also need to provide /input ? (it's hard to guess what 
the problem is)
