note rg0now <blockquote> Open this and then call the block for every line of the resulting file handle, closing the file at the end. </blockquote> <p> Ok, I see. How about this one? <code> (=<>)[0..9].print </code> This seems to work and it is semantically much closer to what you proposed: it opens the file, calls <code>print</code> (which is not a block, but I think, it could be made one for no good) for each requested line. <p> It is an interesting question, whether we could omit the parentheses around <code>=<></code>. Although Pugs does not seem to like it, I am not entirely sure that <code>[]</code> should bind so tight. <!-- Node text goes above.
