You were close, but you were one step of evaluation ahead... 'prin p'
needs to be changed to 'prin :p', because 'prin p' will evaluate the
path, whereas 'prin :p' won't evaluate 'p, so the path is printed, not
what the path points to. This also means that you don't need to use
reduce, because an implicit reduction is done with 'print p'.
This is the result:
diag: func [path-block [block!]] [
foreach p path-block [
prin :p
print " "
print p
]
]
If you want the output on one line, you can just do this:
diag: func [path-block [block!]] [
foreach p path-block [
print [:p p]
]
]
Hopefully I haven't confused you too much, my brain is very foggy right
now :)
