The monad ;: is intended to parse J code, not general delimited strings. So
don't use it for general string manipulation. Use
;. or the standard cover verbs built upon it:
<;._1 ' as 1s 9s' NB. Note leading space character
require 'strings'
' ' cut 'as 1s 9s' NB. Leading space not required by cover function
BTW, here's something you might like:
{ '23456789TJQKA';'DCHS'
or, if you have a fixed-width Unicode font that supports it:
{'23456789TJQKA';u: 16b2666 16b2663 16b2665 16b2660
