Ah, OK, Joe, I think I see what the problem is.
If I simply write a quoted string to the file it works fine. E.g.
1!:21 <'testfile'
30029424
'hello' 1!:2 (30029424)
However I was trying to dump non-string variables, viz. tables, which is
what it didn't like. E.g.
f1 =.1!:21 <'testfile'
data =. >: i.10
data 1!:2 f1
Just filled the file with binary data which I won't bother to put up here.
I was fooled because
data 1!:2 (2) NB. 2 => the screen
works
So is there a simple way to stringify my data tables so they can be
streamed to file easily?
Thanks
