The monadic verb ;: only works on a single (J) sentence at a time. You
cannot use it to parse multiple sentences properly. If you're parsing multiple
lines of J code (say, a script), then I suggest:
require 'strings'
;: each LF cut DATA_GOES_HERE
Or, if you're parsing explicit definitions, I suggest you look at 5!:7 .
That splits explicit definitions into J sentences.
Or, If you're parsing arbitrary English text (i.e. text not written or
controlled by you), I suggest avoiding monadic ;: . Because
;: 'You can''t depend upon it'
Use <;. or a create a custom parser with dyadic ;: instead.
