Maybe slightly OT: REBOL help...
« on: August 09, 2003, 09:26:26 PM »
I've been playing with REBOL for a few days now, and I found it interesting enough to buy a few books that should be arriving shortly, and I've made a few small e-mail scripts. As I don't really learn well from books alone (attention span like your average parsnip), and as I don't know anyone who uses it, I was wondering if there are any kinds of user groups/interest groups/anything that I could contact?

Anyone here that use it?

If this should have been posted in another forum I apologise...

Hi Targhan.

Thanks a lot for the info. I think rebol has a lot of Amiga'ish qualities to it, and that is probably why I like it so much  ;-)

Cyberus:

It's really a bit over my head yet, but check out Rebol's website.

As far as I can understand, It's a scripting language but there's a lot more to it. Did that make sense? Just go to the website...

Rebol just gets more fascinating the more I get to know it... And frustrating at times :) I haven't got my books yet, so maybe someone here can help me with a problem I have?

I run an AltME safeworld, and I need a way to send E-mail to all my users automatically at a set time (without AltME running). The timing bit is working, and I've been able to fetch e-mail addresses from AltME's user.set file by telling it to get the fifth word in the block and looping it. I don't think this is a very efficient way of doing it though, and I'm trying to figure out a way to use the "email!" datatype to get the addresses. Any ideas, anyone? :-?
