What is the best way to save a hash! block in Rebol?

I am using Rebol2 and would like to persist a HASH! block.

Currently I am converting it to-string then using save.

Is there a better way? For example:

r: make hash! ["one" "two"]

I want to save this to a file, then load it back to r.

Solution

  • you are very near your goal. Just use save/all and load

    >> r: make hash! ["one" "two"]
== make hash! ["one" "two"]
>> save/all  %htest r
>> r: load %htest
== make hash! ["one" "two"]

    If you want the same result in Red you just need one command more

    >> r: do load %htest
== make hash! ["one" "two"]
