An alternative is to use indexing:
copy1=: ([ (* $ [EMAIL PROTECTED]) {:@[EMAIL PROTECTED]) {"1 ]
1000 (copy -: copy1) b
1

Subject: [Jprogramming] Different(and maybe more elegant) ways of copying?
b=. 2 2 $'abcd'
copy=.13 : ',./ > x $< y ' NB. copies the box side by side
3 copy b
ababab
cdcdcd
4 copy b
abababab
cdcdcdcd
Maybe, I could use under(as in 13 : ',./ (x&$)&.< y') but the final
form isn't tacit, which is not a big problem; however I'm interested
in knowing other possibilities.
Any suggestions?
