On windows, this will read multiline data from the clipboard in jconsole or jqt:
load'~addons/general/misc/clippaste.ijs'
xx=:getcliptext''
xx
"cell_type": "code",
"execution_count": 10,
"metadata": {},
"outputs": [
{
"name": "stdout",
"output_type": "stream",
"text": [

I find reading multiline data into jconsole (or even into jqt) to be
awkward unless the data are in a file. I would like to be able to read data
from the clipboard directly into some pre-named noun.
The list of steps I use is annoyingly long.
a) prepend the data with 'data =. (0 : 0)' ,
b) press <return>,
c) copy the data into the clipboard,
d) paste into the jconsole,
e) press <return>,
f) end with ')', and
g) press <return>
The original version of J for ipad (and likely, the updated version as
well) offers the following verb which works quite well. I'm wondering if
there is a similar verb for jconsole (or jqt) (that I may have missed).
jfromcb =: 3 : 0
smoutput '<ioscmd>fromcb '
fread'data'
)
Thanks,
