I think that that format is not the best for rebol, but here it is a recorsive
parse rule, with escape chars.
---- code ----
Rebol []
delimit: ["$(" | "%(" | "*("]
escapes: ["$$" | "%%" | "**"]
notpar: complement charset ")"
alpha: charset [#"a" - #"z" #"A" - #"Z"]
alphadigit: union alpha charset "0123456789"
Embed: function [[catch] String [string!] /trace][
macro escape start end esc comm
][
if trace [print [" +++ Embed" mold string]]
escape: [esc: escapes (esc: remove next esc ) :esc]
macro: [
some [
start:
delimit
[
any [
[
(macro: use [start][bind/copy macro 'start])
macro
]
| escape
| notpar
]
#")"
end:
]
opt (
if "" = comm: copy/part skip start 2 back end [comm: {""}]
change/part start do comm end
if trace [print [" === Eval" comm "=" mold do comm]]
)
:start
]
]
either parse/all String: copy String [
some [macro | escape | skip]
][String][throw make error! "Invalid string"]
]
