Just spend a little while fumbling around to figure out how wd's "mb input" works. This message might save people a few minutes fumbling. For the most part it is pretty obvious, but there are a few percultaries.
For double and int: Negative numbers are indicated by the traditional minus sign "-", not the underscore "_" which is not accepted. (no surprise) item is a little tricky. The item list must be enclosed in '"' marks. Items are separated by either space or LF. The " (double quote) character is not allowed in an item nor can it be used to separate items in the list. If LF is used then spaces are allowed in items. Null (zero length) items are ignored. A blank item can be shown if it consists of at least one blank character. t=.'Joseph Donald',LF,LF,' Amanda Carroll',LF,' ',LF, 'Amy' smoutput wd 'mb input item People "Their Names" 1 1 "',t,'"' There may be other ways to allow spaces in an item but I haven't found any yet. If anybody knows of any others please let me know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
