the verb nl list all names inside a locale, eg, for locale abc, nl_abc_''
for each name say foo, use 5!:5 to serialize it into a textual J expression,eg 5!:5<'foo_abc_' and then you can write them into a file. The reverse should be simply loading a script. HTH. That said, you don't actually need workspace, but it needs some time to adjust. On 28 May, 2017 8:33 pm, "Herbert Weissenbaeck // Privat" < [email protected]> wrote: Thank you, Bjoern.
