You can of course work on each element in a boxed string.
If I were you and beginning to learn J I would concentrate on one thing at
a time.
Collect all the strings together, write or add them out as lines in a
result file.
In the next step you can read that intermediary result file and do the
operations you want on them.
Once you have finished all the steps you can begin to refine each step or
eliminate as you see fit.
Going in for heavy J stuff while learning J at the same time may not be the
best way to go.
As you see you are getting expert advice as you go along so you probably
know by now that your work is doable in J and many people know how to do it
and have done similar things in the past.
