Here's what I use for rot13: rot13=: {&((65 97+/~i.2 13) |.@[} i.256)&.(a.&i.)
If I wanted to generalize that, I would probably go with: rotN=: 1 :'rot13=: {&((65 97+/~i.2,m) |.@[} i.256)&.(a.&i.)' 13 rotN 'testing' grfgvat 13 rotN rot13 'testing' testing -- Raul On Fri, Dec 23, 2011 at 11:00 AM, Lorenzo Costanzia di Costigliole <lorenzo.costan...@gmail.com> wrote: > NB.
