I worried about that, but the read is completing. I think that "within a
script" would mean that if I had immediate code in an ijs file I can't
pause the load to read from the keyboard.
I understand the point, and the fix worked. But I thought I had tested for
rank mismatch when I did this:
(1!:1 (1)) e. 'e'
e
1
also
(,'e') e 'e'
1
('e') e. ,'e'
1
And I have a whole bunch more .e stuff that works whether the left or right
arguments are
scalar or length 1 vectors but then I reread the documentation (for like
the fourth time, that was where I first got that it used .e) and it boxes
your terms if they are
not boxed.
boxifopen=:<^:(L.=0:)
('e') e.&boxifopen 'e'
1
(,'e') e.&boxifopen 'e'
0
(,'e') e.&boxifopen ,'e'
1
The fix works. I guess I didn't expect .e to treat things in boxes
differently than it would treat immediate terms, other than unboxing them.
So this has nothing to do with select one way or the other. Sigh. Thanks
for the help again.
