To convert an integer to a literal I can use ": e.g. ": 5 returns '5', as a string literal. But I am not sure how to do the reverse. How can I read '5.32' as a float or '4' as an integer?I looked in Nuvoc and http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx003.htm and couldn't find the answer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
