Here's how: 1. convert your data files (comma delim, or whatever) to blocks. You can use the script on www.rebol.com in user-lib to do it. 2. Now you can loop over the data easily with a foreach or a while loop. Check out the example on the web site.... then ask a few questions here. About 5 lines of code to do what you want. -Carl At 12/1/99 10:47 AM -0500, you wrote: > > >Please elaborate on this for process > to handle standard comma delimited files (or tab delimited files)... > >Any more pointers on the words set [ x1 x2 x3 x4 ... ] record > >I know about "set" , but what is "record".... is that a word or just your >example value. > > > > > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/01/99 03:46 AM GMT > > > >Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >cc: (bcc: Doug Vos) >Subject: [REBOL] 1000's of objects's in array - Works find for me...
