Some languages, like q, have a built-in command for reading, parsing, and loading data from csv files: t: ("SSDIDSSIFFFIS";enlist ",") 0: `:/home/tom/t.csv
Other languages, like a+, do not, and the user needs to write a function to read, parse and load data from csv files. >From a cursory review, it appears that j is in the a+ camp. Please confirm that such a facility does not exist in j, before I start writing my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
