[REBOL] Re: Searching in "table"

[Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch]

you might want to build your table like so instead:


[1 "a" "ttt" 2 "b" "ggg" 3 "c" "geger"]


this way you can use the /skip refinement of some funcs like find and
select.

using a skip, you can then also select on which column of a fixed-size
recordset you want to find.

if your records are of various length, then encode your indexes like the
above, and add one extra value, as a block, and then add optional values
there.
