"Left", "Right", and "Mid" (both forms) are *extremely* important for
textual manipulation. Are there J equivalents for these?
This is untrue, J works extremely well for data processing. The reason why you
can not find any StringRight, StringMid is that it is too trivial to define
cover verbs for them. Please read documentation on verb { {. }. and conjunction
} for the details.
eg. 3{.'abcdef' => 'abc'
_3{.'abcdef' => 'def'
2}.'abcdef' => 'cdef'
_2}.'abcdef' => 'abcd'
(3+i.2){'abcdef' => 'de'
J is more powerful than VB. how would you do this in VB?
5 3 2 1{'abcdef' => 'fdcb'
