right, this "short and focused" is the tricky part.
the third is, get them to play with it IMHO.
I tried that in my first post:
the
text: find/any text "h*o"
looks like black magic (regular expression? uuh).
So i would mention dos-wildcards -> user at home.
setting up a string in a file each time needs some setup to try out.
so i made a ready-to-paste example, mentioning the console:
text: "Rebol says: Hello world!"
text: find/any text "h*o"
if i added more, please delete it.
the second article was while collecting ideas.
the important parts are:
people will try a "dir *.r" in rebol. its a slightly advanced.
they should be pointed to
files: read %docs/
remove-each file files [
not find/any/match file %*.r ;attention: do NOT remove
]
probe files
somehow. eventually a piece of sugar in the main article,
we can do a "dir *.r" to,
(presenting this code.)
But how this works is a bit tricky ;)
Then linking to an article explaining the code
- there is a block of filenames, [%file1 %file2 ..]
we have to search each filenames, not in the block (note i said 'each ;)
- remove-each does NOT mean "remove each file"
it means "remove filenames from block". don't panik ;)
a standalone article linked:
- find/any/match? *scratch head* well, the /any turns on wilrdcard (like dos).
the /match: see following mail

BTW, if someone thinks my topics are worth refining,
i try it. But you have to read the drafts here.. ;)
