I had trouble with path names from windows. Rebol doesn�t appear to
understand them natively.
Rebol changes the current directory to the directory of the script that is
run.
Relative paths on a command line are relative to the directory from which
Rebol is executed. This path is in system/script/parent/path.
I wrote the following function to convert argument strings in windows format
to file paths in Rebol.
cvt_path: func [
"Convert windows path to Rebol path"
:path [string!] {Path to convert}
] [
replace/all path "\" "/"
either find path ":"
[ ; Path has ':' -- make full path
replace path ":" "" path: join "/" path
] [ ; Path is relative to script parent path
path: join to-string system/script/parent/path path
]
to-file path
]
Is there a better way to handle this?
Thanks,
