Try parse. Presuming you want a block of strings:
>> s: "arg1 arg2 arg3"
== "arg1 arg2 arg3"
>> myargs: parse s none
== ["arg1" "arg2" "arg3"]
If you invoke REBOL from the command line as:
rebol myarg1 myarg2 myarg3 myarg4
...REBOL consumes the first argument as a potential script name.
If myarg1 is a runnable REBOL script, it is executed.
If myarg1 is NOT a runnable REBOL script, it is silently discarded.
The rest of the args are aggregated into system/options/args:
>> system/options/args
== "myarg2 myarg3 myarg4"
Individual args can be extracted as before, using parse:
>> myargs: parse system/options/args none
== ["myarg2" "myarg3" "myarg4"]
