By "simple" I meant order of complexity. Of course you would want just to use regular expressions to look for y. which will not be part of try. for_y. or "That's easy." One of the objections to y.->y was that it would take place of user names y, x, etc, So to make this reversible, you need also to replace those names with something else, like X, Y or nx, ny, etc,

If that was your experience, fine. The > irreversibility of that kind of change made me hesitate to consider it. Using a simple search-and-replace "y. -> y" didn't work for me because I use "try." I used this sequence of search-and-replace: try. -> tryXX. y. -> y tryXX. -> try. Other possible problems involve for loop indices. I.e. "for_xx." would be affected by "x. -> x" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
