Dear J-ers,
How would I define a verb 'definedwhere' which finds out where a particular
item got defined? I.e. using 4!:3 and 4!:4 utilities...but dynamically.
For e.g.,
definedwhere 'nl'
/Users/v/j64-802/system/main/stdlib.ijs
NB. This is similar to
(4!:4 <'nl') { 4!:3''
/Users/v/j64-802/system/main/stdlib.ijs
So, I defined the following in my startup script.
definedwhere=: (4!:3''){~ boxopen
but it does not work because 4!:3'' gets executed during the definition. I
need it to be done dynamically because the script list will change in the
interactive session. How can I go about this?
Thanks,
Vijay.
