Please do, although perhaps the Debug p1.3 or View group might be 
better for that :)

ok, now I am glad Gregg provided new group for that, so I will move 
and post my observations in new Installer group ...

I am trying to add a newline to separate blocks of hashs I add to 
a file withe the save command.

[idkey: 1 objectname: "article" creator: "Lec, Norm" fulltitle: "Title 
1" pageread: "1"] {#"^^/"} [idkey: 2 objectname: "article" ...
with the line: append bib mold/all newline

Unfortunately I dont find the way to dispose the blocks in a pleasing 
format because the newline separating them is in source format.

I did try a dozen of combination with reduce, form mold and compose 
and the various newline forms I know ^/ "^/" but to no avail.

It shure is stupid but I am stock with this.  If I use write I am 
OK, but would like to learn the trick with save. Thanks.

In last View version (1.3.x) and last Core, there is a 'new-line 
function to format a block in lines. I think it does not work on 
hash! (just try), but you can use 'to-block on your hash! to be able 
to use it.

>> help new-line
USAGE:
    NEW-LINE block value /all /skip size

DESCRIPTION:
     Sets or clears the new-line marker within a block.
     NEW-LINE is a native value.

ARGUMENTS:
     block -- Position in block to change marker (Type: block)
     value -- Set TRUE for newline. (Type: any)

REFINEMENTS:
     /all -- Set/clear marker to end of block

     /skip -- Set/clear marker periodically to the end of the block
         size -- (Type: integer)
>> a: [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10]
== [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10]
>> new-line a true
== [
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
]
>> new-line a false
== [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10]
>> new-line/skip a true 2
== [
    1 2
    3 4
    5 6
    7 8
    9 10
]

Thanks, I shure missed that one.

It's a new feature and it's not currently documented, just mentioned 
in the View 1.3 change log page.

Hello all.. I need help!  I am trying to append a series within a 
series..  i.e.  [ [a b c] [d e f] ].  How would I add [g h i] to 
the end of my series so that I would have [ [abc] [ d e f] [g h i] 
], and not [ [a b c] [d e f] g h i ] ?

append/only [ [a b c] [d e f] ] [g h i]

sweet.

How to make this work?

>> foreach line read/lines request-file [prin "before " prin line 
print " after"]

** Access Error: Invalid port spec: /C/Documents and Settings/meta/Desktop/node_list.txt
** Where: halt-view

** Near: foreach line read/lines request-file [prin "before " prin 
line print " after"]
>>

I'm trying to read each line from a file and add something before 
and after

thanks

foreach line read/lines (to-file request-file) [prin "before " prin 
line print " after"]

The to-file converts the response of request-file to the file! datatype 
which read/lines is expecting. The () are needed to ensure that the 
result of to-file is used as the argument

I'm pressed for time. I'm sure others will correct / amend my explanation..

>> request-file
== [%/C/Izkata/Rebol/bay.jpg %/C/Izkata/Rebol/palms.jpg]
>> request-file/only
== %/C/Izkata/Rebol/palms.jpg

This might be better to keep anyone from choosing multiple files:

foreach line read/lines request-file/only [print ["before " line 
" after"]]

thanks guys
Allen it seems the ( ) are not necessary.

Hello everyone,

I have an EditME me that I'm using to manage a project this summer. 
I would like to use Rebol to logon to my wiki, edit some pages and 
attach files to pages.

Are their any code exemples that I could use to understand how to 
go about this. I need to be able to fill in forms and send them in 
to my wiki. 
many thanks

Is there something similar to Python format string in Rebol?

Have you read the CGI how tos?

http://www.rebol.com/docs/cgi1.htmland    http://www.rebol.com/docs/cgi2.html

after those, the RBBS project does some dynamic pages generated from 
databases and key values http://www.rebol.com/docs/cgi-bbs.html
  HOWEVER, when delving into anything CGI (not wiki link, so maybe 
not what you want) it takes some heavy head-scratching

There is no PRINTF-like function in REBOL right now. Eric Long wrote 
one which should be available somewhere (or write to me privately). 
RT has mentioned it more than once; the hard part will be designing 
the interface to it. I wouldn't want a standard FORMAT function to 
work like PRINTF myself, but I think it would be good if there was 
one out there for pople to use who wanted it.

I know I've been around for a while, but it's been so long since 
I submitted anything to the REBOL.org script library that all the 
rules have changed. So I'm new again :(


What headers should I add to the script to integrate it into the 
script library? I'd like to BSD license it - how do I indicate that? 
Are there any other headers that are necessary? How do I indicate 
that a minimum version of REBOL is required (Core compatible, but 
I use a few recent features)?


This is related to an extended version of the compress-source function 
I made for the Canvas section.

If there is a page on REBOL.org that explains this, could someone 
post the link?

http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/one-click-submission-help.r

Alternatively. try to upload without a Library header.....One'll 
get added, and you can then edit it.


[It'd be good to get one more script in the Library. Right now we 
have 666, and that's an iconic number for some people :-)]

here on the other side of the world, it looks like 999

...That's the number of the beast's yoga trainer?

No, that's the number of years Australia will get to keep the Ashes 
once they win it back.

:-)

Australia may well win back the Ashes at some stage but they never 
get to keep them. The men with excruciating taste in ties keep them 
under lock and key in the Long Room.

Hello, everyone... Ii am using encryption in Rebol/SDK, and I would 
like to store the actual binary value returned from the port as a 
string... not the to-string value, but the binary value... for example, 
if I get back #{455121D505CD240595E530589ADCD7787F22EF9DE899D6D8} 
from the port, I would like to store 455121D505CD240595E530589ADCD7787F22EF9DE899D6D8 
as a string in a file... does anyone know if this is possible?

enbase/base #{...} 16

sweet!  thank you very much

Thanks Kru! I'm editing it now.

Hey all, what is the current expected syntax for the Needs header 
of a REBOL script?

Last time I checked (a while ago) it was undocumented.

needs: 'rebol

There is some way of specifying the Core and View versions, I remember, 
but don't remember how.

I would suggest that is probably like the tested-under block

viz: needs: [ core tuple! view tuple! ]

Some examples here:
http://www.rebol.net/notes/rv13-changes.html
eg  needs: [view 1.3.0 sound 1.2.4]

Thanks! I'm currently testing my script compression code to see what 
the minimum versions of REBOL it needs.

i am testing version 2.0.1 of RebDB, and I am having problems doing 
a selection with an equality 'where' predicate... 
do %db.r
if any [ exists? %my-table.ctl 
         exists? %my-table.dat ] 
       [ delete/any %my-table* ]
db-create my-table [col1 col2 col3 col4 col5]
db-insert my-table [next "1" "2" "3" "4"]
db-commit my-table
test: db-select/where * my-table 1
print ["key: " test] 
test: db-select/where * my-table 
	'col1= 1 'col2= "1" 'col2= "2"
print ["eq:  " test]
test: db-select/where * my-table 
	all ['col1= 1 'col2= "1" 'col2= "2"]
print ["eq:  " test]
test: db-select/where * my-table 
	[all ['col1= 1 'col2= "1" 'col2= "2"]]
print ["eq:  " test]

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong in this test?  tia

The where refinement expects a block, so just use code like the following:

	db-select/where * my-table [col1 = 1]
	db-select/where * my-table [all [col1 = 1 col2 = "1"]]

Could you help me anybody? I have a simple sequences of commands: 
  view layout [label "hello"]  tx: request-text "something" ... I 
need invoke request-text immediately after main window showed - not 
after the main window is closed...

view/new instead of view

what an easy solution :-)  Thank you!

I thought, that view/new i can use only if i  allready have the other 
window.. (sorry for my english..)
