Re: multi-line string, fidelity not being maintained when using ⎕FX

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann via Bugs and suggestions for GNU APL]

Hi Hans-Peter,

thanks. What you see is the standard APL2 behavior
(see attached screenshot). ⎕FX and the ∇-editor
discard leading whitespace.

Best Regards,
Jürgen

Hi,

⎕FX does not maintain the multi-line string fidelity,
leading spaces get removed.:

    m←'x' 'h← «««' 'ddddd' '     lpppp'  '»»»'
     ⊃m
x
h← «««
ddddd
    lpppp
»»»
     ⎕FX m

     ⊃h
ddddd
lpppp

     ∇x[⎕]
   ∇
[0]   x
[1]   h← «««
[2]   ddddd
[3]   lpppp
[4]   »»»
   ∇
