It's almost inexplicable that there is such a hole in the language or its capabilties, isn't it? In an ancient thread an RT employee (at the time) said: > I believe Carl already has in mind how he wants to solve > these types of formatting issues within REBOL. I don't know > when it'll happen though. http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlYTNB That thread also references a script by Eric Long, format.r, that: "FORMAT aims to be a Reboloid replacement for sprintf." That would seem to be the answer -- or at least a good starting point...But it is no longer in the Library, and I don't know why. (I did ask why via the REBOL3 Q&A forum and the rebol.com Feedback form. That was back in October. No answer as yet). I do have a copy of Eric Long's format.r but I do not know if it is possible to distribute it. So not a lot of help for you there: just my sympathy. There are some other partial solutions here: http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlCKVC Sunanda. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
