Re: [Bug-apl] ⍝ comment ignored?

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi, I don't want to restart the "A Comment is a Comment" discussion, but if I remember correctly then the argument to the )FNS command (!) is the prefix of the function names that shall be displayed. GNU APL is a bit lazy in commands in that it does not complain about additional arguments but simply ignores them. So )fns ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect actually means )fns ⍝ And it shows all functions whose name begins with ⍝. Which normally are very few, if any. So, like it or not, )fns ⍝ is different from )fns For example: )copy 5 SQL DUMPED 2017-02-06 13:19:58 (GMT+1) )fns SQL∆Begin SQL∆Columns SQL∆Commit SQL∆Connect SQL∆Disconnect SQL∆Exec SQL∆Rollback SQL∆Select SQL∆Tables SQL⍙metadata )fns SQL∆ SQL∆Begin SQL∆Columns SQL∆Commit SQL∆Connect SQL∆Disconnect SQL∆Exec SQL∆Rollback SQL∆Select SQL∆Tables )fns SQL⍙ SQL⍙metadata )fns x )fns ⍝ /// Jürgen On 02/06/2017 07:30 PM, enz...@gmx.com wrote: full testing in workspace and in script )clear CLEAR WS )fns )fns ⍝ aaa )fns ⍝ SQL∆Connect )fns ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect bad range argument ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect, expecting from - to )copy SQL.apl DUMPED 2017-01-27 16:05:06 (GMT-7) )fns SQL∆Begin SQL∆Columns SQL∆Commit SQL∆Connect SQL∆Disconnect SQL∆Exec SQL∆Rollback SQL∆Select SQL∆Tables SQL⍙metadata )fns ⍝ aaa )fns ⍝ SQL∆Connect )fns ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect bad range argument ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect, expecting from - to ⍎')fns' SQL∆Begin SQL∆Columns SQL∆Commit SQL∆Connect SQL∆Disconnect SQL SQL? ∆Exec SQL∆Rollback SQL∆Select SQL∆Tables SQL⍙metadata ⍎')fns' ⍝ doesn't show SQL∆Connect SQL∆Begin SQL∆Columns SQL∆Commit SQL∆Connect SQL∆Disconnect SQL SQL? ∆Exec SQL∆Rollback SQL∆Select SQL∆Tables SQL⍙metadata On Mon, 6 Feb 2017 09:54:45 -0700 enz...@gmx.com wrote: in a workspace )fns )fns ⍝ shows SQL∆Connect bad range argument ⍝ shows SQL∆Connect, expecting from - to
