Hi all,

I want to sort a file by line alphabetic order. It appears it works at once as I
write an idea ! Rebol is great !
str: copy []
foreach l (sort read/lines %my-file) [append str join l "^/"]

But I haven't thought of blank line which are empty string in the sort
read/lines resulting block.

I try using the string length. But I don't understand the following evaluations
:

>> t: ["" "" "one" "two"]
>> foreach i t [print length? i]
0
0
3
3
>> foreach i t [if length? i [print i]]


one
two
>> foreach i t [if length? i <> 0 [print i]]
** Script Error: length? expected series argument of type: series port tuple
struct
** Near: if length? i <> 0

>> foreach i t [if (length? to-string i <> 0) [print i]]


one
two

What would be the best solution to get rid of the empty strings ? (or of any
empty values of a block, be they string or of any type? Could you give me a
pointer to the explanation of this in the official doc ?

Many thanks,
Best regards
Stephane
