I have read and re-read the "Amend" and "For" dictionary entries as well as the
"For" entries in the Rich and Stokes online books, and I have tried a couple of
experimental variations with no luck. Here's a simplified example of the
problem I'm having:
test=: 3 : 0
table=. 4 3 $ 'aaa';'aa';'a';'bbb';'bb';'b';'ccc';'cc';'c';'ddd';'dd';'d'
numrows=. 0{$table
for_j. (i. numrows) do.
testfld=. < j_index NB. create arbitrary new field contents
testfld (0{j_index)} table NB. put new contents into first cell in row
end.
)
test''
+---+--+-+
|aaa|aa|a|
+---+--+-+
|bbb|bb|b|
+---+--+-+
|ccc|cc|c|
+---+--+-+
|3 |3 |3│
+---+--+-+
Why do I get the above table instead of the intended table below?
+-+--+-+
|0|aa|a|
+-+--+-+
|1|bb|b|
+-+--+-+
|2|cc|c|
+-+--+-+
|3|dd|d│
+-+--+-+
What am I missing about the "Amend" and/or "For" commands? Thanks in advance
for your guidance!
Harvey
