Hello Alex;

I'm not sure as to what section of the manual you are referring to: the nature of 8!:0, or the use of & to tame the behaviour of 'each' To address a bigger picture, my experience is that 'a simple RTFM would have fixed my problem immediately' is equivalent to 'a simple lottery jackpot would have fixed my financial problems immediately.'

WOW. I spent an agonizing hour last week trying to figure this out and a simple RTFM would have fixed my problem immediately.
Thanks.

Subject: [Jprogramming] Formatting then Boxing a vector

Hi.

I have no excuse but I couldn't seem to get this to work. I'm currently
applying a learning curve to a production plan and I encountered this
problem.

I have a list of numbers:
A=: 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

I need to convert them to a formatted boxed string like this:
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|06|07|08|09|10|11|12|13|
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

I know I can do it this way:
   < 'r<0>2.0' (8!:2) 6
+--+
|06|
+--+

When get the wrong results when I try to do it this way:
   < 'r<0>2.0' (8!:2) A
+----------------+
|0607080910111213|
+----------------+

    'r<0>2.0' (8!:2) each A
|length error
|   'r<0>2.0'    (8!:2)each A

   'r<0>2.0' (8!:2) box every A
0607080910111213

   'r<0>2.0' (8!:2) each box every A
|length error
|   'r<0>2.0'    (8!:2)each box every A

Of course I could just use a for_xyz. Loop and be done with it but its
irking me that I can't seem to make it work.
Thanks for the help.

r/Alex
