Hi Oleg, As part of my move to J602, I was reviewing my script files and under the others/utils directory is a file called methods.ijs with the following header info: NB. methods NB. NB. $Id: methods.ijs,v 1.2 2003/08/13 08:06:44 cburke Exp $ NB. I believe that these scripts were created by Chris during the migration from J4 to J5. :)
Oh, thanks for putting the link in the wiki -> http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Strings r/alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oleg Kobchenko Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 2:37 PM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] String manipulation scripts > From: Alex Rufon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I've been using the following scripts (created by Chris Burke) for years > only to realize that they are not part of the standard library: > 1. cutstring - boxes string using a delimiter but respects quotes > 2. delimitlist - creates a string from a boxed list delimited by a > string > 3. commasep - creates a string from a boxed list separated by comma > 4. datasep - same as commasep but each boxed item is enclosed by quotes > 5. charsep - separates a boxed item by a character (suspiciously similar > to delimitlist) > > I was wondering if it would be possible to add this as part of a > standard library or as an add-on (I would prefer standard library).

What is their origin? Is there possibly more goodies there? One way of sharing various useful routines is through the Wiki Phrases. For strings that would be http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Phrases/Strings I believe these verbs above can go straight there. Now there's also a resource index for Strings and Text manipulation code http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/Strings It is to capture and consolidate various links and resources separated in space and time. So if anyone can remember useful Forum posting or Web link or something from base library etc, please add it to that page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
