Hi Pierre,
Sorry if I misunderstood your post. When you said:
PJ> path phrases ([ ] /n) *
PJ> * where n = any integer; m = any integer
I interpreted "n = any integer" as index access only, by number, not
by named value.
>>> block: [name1: "Gregg" phone1: #208.461 name2: "Other Smarter
PJ> Gregg"]
PJ> == [name1: "Gregg" phone1: #208.461 name2: "Other Smarter Gregg"
PJ> ]
>>> Smarter-Gregg-Block: make object! block
>>> Smarter-Gregg-Block/name2
PJ> == "Other Smarter Gregg"
PJ> NOW, you can use path retrieval on EXPLICIT aspects of the
PJ> prototype ("object") using path-words
I guess I'm still missing your point. You can use unique names in
blocks as well as objects.
>> block: [name1 "Gregg" phone1 #208.461 name2 "Other Smarter Gregg"]
== [name1 "Gregg" phone1 #208.461 name2 "Other Smarter Gregg"]
>> block/name1
== "Gregg"
>> block/name2
== "Other Smarter Gregg"
OTOH, you can't have multiple "fields" with the same "name" in an
object, which you can do in a block; tradeoffs.
