rplc&('_';'-') each (data)

Kind of slow but works ;)

I have read a CSV file and crunched it appropriately. I am now trying to write the crunched file with normal negative signs. I remember reading about an elegant way to replace the negative signs and saying to myself at the time: "That's a good thing to remember." However, I cannot find the reference that I think I saw and am now starting to question whether I did see it. I am using J 5.04. I have a two-dimensional array of numbers that gets a text header attached to it, both as boxed arrays. This gets fed to the writecsv verb from the csv script that came with J 5.04. I can change data to character data and the negative signs to hyphens by working on the data as a vector, but cannot get it boxed correctly to attach the header. I looked in the OLE stuff to export data to Excel, but couldn't find anything there, though I may have missed it.

Thinking out of the box, could I just swap the characters in a. while I write the file or is a. read-only? (Doesn't seem to work.)

Seems like it should be easy...doh!

Thanks in advance
