You have to ensure that it is a string. Which it should be if you have read
it from a text file.
"[a 1st test]" or "a 1st test". If it is not a string and you just set
subject to a block [a 1st test]
it will fail with something like this (because subject is turned into a
string using 'form before sending)
form [a 1st test]
** Syntax Error: Invalid integer -- 1st.
** Where: (line 1) [a 1st test]
You must be doing something to the string that you didn't show in your
example. Also, is there really a need to use reduce?, nothing in your
example indicates you need it there.
I would still like Rebol to be able to handle these, 1st 2nd 3rd 3m etc
(without having to have them as strings, or at least make 'form handle their
conversion)
