World: r3wp

How do you access the arguments when passed in a command line?

r3apha myscript.r argument-list ?

probe system/options/args
probe system/script/args

says system object is protected

eh? no one knows?

no help on decode-cgi either ... 
is anyone using R3 for CGI ?

I thought it was supposed to be system/script/args.

Hmmm, same protected issue here.

checking curecode ...

known issue http://www.curecode.org/rebol3/ticket.rsp?id=628&cursor=7

or not ...

can someone with a curecode account log this as an issue pls?

btw, running with r3 -s script args
doesn't help either ...

Curecode #1430.

Graham - I've deleted the ticket because I can get the arguments 
but do get the message - it needs a bit more investigating before 
submitting the ticket.

>> probe read/string %testLaunch.r
{REBOL []

print system/options/args
print system/script/args
ask "ok?"
}


>> launch/args %testLaunch.r "text1 text2"  

Checking for rebol.r file in /Users/peter/Code/Rebol3/



System object protected

Evaluating: /Users/peter/Code/Rebol3/testLaunch.r
text1 text2

text1 text2

ok?y

== none

I don't have time to explore further at the moment. I'l try to do 
so later if nobody else has.

Peter, I'm testing from shell not using 'launch

launch simpy uses 'call to run a shell command. Anyway here is the 
ouput of the command line attempt:

Macintosh:Rebol3 peter$ ./rebol testLaunch.r "text1 text2"

Checking for rebol.r file in /Users/peter/Code/Rebol3/


System object protected

Evaluating: testLaunch.r
text1 text2
text1 text2
ok?

Macintosh:Rebol3 peter$

It might be different under windows though.

Seems okay under Windows too:


Checking for rebol.r file in /C/Documents and Settings/Peter/Desktop/Rebol3/

Evaluating: testLaunch.r
test1 test2
test1 test2
ok?

I didn't even get the System object protected message.

I get system protected under OSX, but not under Windows.

Well, using 

r3alpha -cs script args


I can read the args now but it does still say system protected .. 
but I guess that's okay

Cypre: on PATH evaluation... if you think it's incorrect, submit 
it as bug. Thanks!

Please submit DO 'a as bug. Thanks!

Q: "is anyone using R3 for CGI ?" 
A: The new REBOL.com website is based on R3 CGI.

Can we terminate this !REBOL3 group, rename it to !REBOL3-G1 (or 
some such name), and start a new one?  This group has too many messages, 
making it very slow.

One last message to provide a link from the end of this to the start 
of the [web-public] archive.
