Thanks, Bjorn and Ric, but... for whatever reason, using "fwrite"
doesn't seem to work, always giving errors--that's why I didn't include
it in my original examples. (I actually had tried all of these
"fwrite" variations before writing my original message, but because
none of them worked, I limited myself in that info request to those
forms that *did* work.) Here are results from your suggestions:
Bjorn:
(q,LF) 1!:2 <'c:\q1.txt' NB. your original suggestion
|domain error
| (q ,LF)1!:2<'c:\q1.txt'
(LF,q) 1!:2 <'c:\q1.txt' NB. xchg x args
|domain error
| (LF ,q)1!:2<'c:\q1.txt'
(q,LF) 1!:2 jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. variant file spec
|domain error
| (q ,LF)1!:2 jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
(q,LF) fwrite <'c:\q1.txt' NB. variant verb form
|domain error
| (q ,LF)fwrite<'c:\q1.txt'
(LF,q) fwrite <'c:\q1.txt' NB. xchg x args
|domain error
| (LF ,q)fwrite<'c:\q1.txt'
(q,LF) fwrite jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. variant verb form
|domain error
| (q ,LF)fwrite jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
(LF,q) fwrite jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. xchg x args
|domain error
| (LF ,q)fwrite jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
Ric:
(toJ,q) fwrite <'c:\q1.txt' NB. your original suggestion
|domain error: toJ
| ( toJ,q)fwrite<'c:\q1.txt'
(q,toJ) fwrite <'c:\q1.txt' NB. xchg x args
|value error: fwrite
| (q,toJ) fwrite<'c:\q1.txt'
(toJ,q) fwrite jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. variant file spec
|domain error: toJ
| ( toJ,q)fwrite jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
(q,toJ) fwrite jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. xchg x args
|value error: fwrite
| (q,toJ) fwrite jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
(toJ,q) 1!:2 <'c:\q1.txt' NB. variant verb form
|domain error: toJ
| ( toJ,q)1!:2<'c:\q1.txt'
(toJ,q) 1!:2 jpath ('~user\data\q1.txt') NB. variant verb form
|domain error: toJ
| ( toJ,q)1!:2 jpath('~user\data\q1.txt')
As you can see, I tried exchanging the "x" arguments, exchanging the
verb form between "fwrite" and "1!:2", and exchanging the "jpath"
syntax and regular syntax for the "y" arguments--but all to no avail.
I just could not get "fwrite" to work correctly. Any other
suggestions? Thanks!
Harvey
