I would like to read a text file a line at
a time. What's more, I would like to read each
line into a variable.
After looking at the draft manual and reading
fillines.html, I attempted the following code:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
file: open/read %test.txt
foreach line file [print line]
;like to replace the above line of code
;with one that reads into a variable
;perhaps for parsing or modification
;and then prints it
close text
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
{The second line of code generates an error message}
I'd like to make a comment here:
I learned C starting about 9 years ago, with
my main reference called (if I remember correctly),
"The C Users Bible". It had a very special rule.
EVERY EXAMPLE WAS FULLY EXECUTABLE!! Nothing taken
out of context.
I believe if Rebol makes this a goal, for a manual,
you can kick some Perl butt out there in Cyber Land.
These first tiny steps for any newbie are as important
as showing off the power of Rebol.
Now you have it in writing: If I can help to this end,
just ask.
Thanks
Tim
