Hello again!
I want to match 2 tables to have the same length, but I want to save
the overage. Here is the code that didn't work because J does not
seem to allow variables in place of numbers:
[leny1 is the length of the DEG table and lenx1 is the length of the
table to match DEG with]
xydiff=. leny1 - lenx1 NB. length leny1 must always be longer than lenx1
DEG2=. _xydiff {. DEG NB. save unmatched tail portion of DEG
DEG=. _xydiff }. DEG NB. delete unmatched tail portion of DEG
Since it seems (and I may be mistaken in some way) that J cannot
handle the value of a noun variable, how can I accomplish what I'm
trying to do in the above code?
Thanks in advance for any help with this! I hope this is not
something ultra obvious that I've overlooked. ;-)
Harvey
