   If I do like this it works   
   s\" \"" drop 0 rec-string Hej Peter" interpreting cr type   
   Hej Peter ok

   Yes I think that would be a better solution. But it has its problems.   
      
   today I have   
      
   \ Recognizer for "text strings"   
      
   : adj  ( len  --  len' )  \ if we are at the end of the parse area   
   			  \ we need to adjust what we step back   
   	source nip >in @ = + ;   
      
   ' noop			                   \ interpret action   
   :noname postpone sliteral ;                \ compile action   
   :noname postpone sliteral postpone 2lit, ; \ postpone action   
   translator: translate-string   
      
   : rec-string  ( addr len --xi | 0)	   
     	swap c@ '"' =   
     	if adj negate >in +! (s\") translate-string   
     	else drop 0 then ;   
      
   I can easily move (s\") ( the interpretive part of S\")   
   into the translator.   
   But if I move also adj negate >in +! I need to send the len also.   
   That is not as clean as doing the adjust in rec-string.   
      
   Honestly I think using the string recognizer outside of recognizing   
   is difficult.
