Yes, it really sounds like you wanted namelist (low level tool) rather than names (user friendly tool). >> 'wd' names_z_'' > I will be deprived of these because the behavior of nl is unpredictable... > although, to be fair, the last example works with namelist as well. But with differing results: 'wd' namelist_z_ 0 1 2 3 gives you all names in z which begin with a 'd' or with a 'w'. Thus 'wcsize' will appear for 'wd' namelist_z_ 0 1 2 3 but it would not appear for 'wd' nl_z_ '' -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
