Mold - Function Summary

Summary:

Converts a value to a REBOL-readable string.

Usage:

mold value

Arguments:

value - The value to mold

Refinements:

/only - For a block value, give only contents, no outer [ ].

/all - Mold in serialized format

/flat - No indentation

Description:

MOLD differs from FORM in that MOLD produces a REBOL readable string. For example, a block will contain brackets [ ] and strings will be " " quoted or use braces { } (if it is long or contains special characters).

When given a block of values, spaces are inserted between each values (except after a newline). To avoid the spaces between values use INSERT to insert the block into a string. MOLD does not evaluate the values within a block. To do so use REMOLD.

print mold 10:30 10:30

print mold %image.jpg %image.jpg

print mold [1 2 3] [1 2 3]
