[REBOL] Re: Cunning use of [], () & {} in R# and in future? Rebol versions?

From: nitsch-lists:netcologne at: 20-Oct-2003 4:20

a[ 5 : 10 ] instead of copy/part skip a 5 skip a 10 ? how about extending path syntax? a/5:10 ? a/(5 + 7 + 29 + 3) is hard to read IMHO. the "/" is very hidden now. how about something spreadsheet-oriented? could even be a whole datatype. i would like to position inside a matrix, so having a: [ [1 2 3 4] [5 6 7 8] [9 A B C] ] b: skip-matrix a 2 2 ;fictional !>> b/1/1 == 6 !>> b/2/1 == A !> b/1:2/1:2 == [ [6 7] [A B] ] Half spreadsheet :) Intersting:
>> 'b/1:2/1:2
== b/1:02/1:02 a valid path. with time-values. now when i do a spreadsheed-dialect i could use rebol-syntax directly. with up to 60 columns :) -Volker Am Sonntag, 19. Oktober 2003 21:29 schrieb Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch:
