Welcome btw @laturk

@laturk

@planetsizecpu Thanks. I've been watching RED for a long time, waiting for RED View to be available on Linux. RED has the potential to be the most productive computer language ever. I'm hoping for events that will enable the speed of development to greatly increase.

@cloutiy

@laturk Red view is available on linux. Download the gui branch.

I been playing with it. It uses gtk

Boleslav Březovský

@rebolek

@cloutiy @laturk I believe you don’t need the gui branch anymore and Linux View is in the master for some time.

@cloutiy

Even better.

Great to see lots of new faces lately.

Hi, this is part of my code, but whatever I do, I can't compile it with the red flag -r. Can anyone help me please?

Red [needs: view]
#include %./environment/console/CLI/input.red
tar: #include-binary %tar.exe
data: split-path request-dir
cdd: to-local-file what-dir
write to-red-file rejoin [data/1{tar.exe}] tar
change-dir data/1
call/wait rejoin [{tar -cf "}replace/all cdd "\" "/" {test" }data/2 ]
delete to-red-file rejoin [data/1{tar.exe}]
change-dir to-red-file cdd

this is error message

Compiling c:\Users\username\Desktop\ams\tar.red ...

Hi, I had a question how can I give this example two inputs?

a: system/options/args

     -p: func [x y] [

         print rejoin [{ren "}x{" "}y{"}]]


            if find a "-p" [ 

                  remove a

                     -p remove a a ]

hiiamboris

@hiiamboris

what inputs?

system/options/args contains all the arguments from command line

@ams02468

@hiiamboris i solved the problem thanks anyway

@ldci

What’s wrong in this function?

bitExtract: function [
    number     [integer!]
    n        [integer!]
    p        [integer!]
][
    ((1 << n) - 1) AND (number >> (p - 1))
]

print  bitExtract 140 3 6
print  bitExtract 140 3 4

OK : we get 4 and 1

But

print  bitExtract 45 3 6
print  bitExtract 45 3 4

I’m waiting for 6 and 6 and I get 1 and 5

hiiamboris

@hiiamboris

45 is 101101, how do you expect 6 and 6?

François Jouen

@ldci

@hiiamboris Code given by Gif code table :)

hiiamboris

@hiiamboris

54 maybe not 45

@ams02468

hi hope you guys have a good day, I wanted to know what code editor you use for red? I want to change my editor and I need your experience

François Jouen

@ldci

@ams02468 Depends on your OS. With macOS, I use sublime Text or BBEdit.

Gregg Irwin

@greggirwin

UltraEdit.

Boleslav Březovský

@rebolek

Vim

hiiamboris

@hiiamboris

@ams02468 CudaText (cross-platform)

I dropped Sublime for it's too hard to extend, and decided against UltraEdit for it's too sluggish for my taste.

Notepad++

@dsunanda

Also using Notepad++ .... Recently changed from Programmer's Notepad because it is getting a bit crufty with UNICODE support.
Both have syntax coloring for Rebol (and therefore Red) which is nice.

@ams02468

Hi, is there a command to show numbers smaller than one number, something like a countdown?

dsunanda

@dsunanda

You could adapt something like this:

 num: 7 repeat n num [print num - n]
6
5
4
3
2
1
0

Hello . there is way to convert the output of code to the string again ?

print checksum "test" 'MD5

dsunanda

@dsunanda

@ams02468 There's not supposed to be :). The point of hashes is that they are a one-way secure function.
MD5 though is so badly broken, that a search on the internet is often all you need:
https://md5.gromweb.com/?md5=098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6
