A function that will do the trick, as long as you are certain there will only be urls and files in your data, is this: string-to-url-or-file: func [s [string!] /local uf][ either url? uf: attempt[load s ] [uf][to file! s]] ] When your data is a url, load should always succeed, so attempt returns either a url, or somthing else, or none (e.g., if load failed) in the latter cases we just convert it to a file. >> test: ["http://www.rebol.net"; "index.html"] == ["http://www.rebol.net"; "index.html"] >> repeat d test [ print [ f d " " type? f d ]] http://www.rebol.net url index.html file Kind regards, Ingo -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
