I delete the email addresses from the replies i don't know if it is even needed to do that
I've put together the following based on Jurgen's info about )copy text_file (with !# in first line) for editing fns outside of the workspace with vi one problem? i've found is - if the fns already exists then )copy text_file with it in it causes not overwriting but addition addition to it - i guess the way it works is the ∇ opens the file and accepts new input... okay so that is why i use ⎕ex 'ai' (run manually - i will put this into the edit fns after i can copy the text file in - in the fns then the following 'edit fns' #! edit ∇rs←edit fn;fp 'lib_file_io.so' ⎕FX 'FILE_IO' ⍝ ]XTERM OFF this was needed at one time run in ws(gives error if run here though) during dev of this so i left it but doesn't seem to be needed any more fp←'r' FILE_IO[24] 'vi workspaces/',fn,' < `tty` > `tty`' FILE_IO[25] fp ⍝ ⎕ex fn ⍝ ⎕cp fn need dev of ∇ edit 'a1' you can put vars and fns in a1 )copy ai On Sat, 26 Apr 2014 08:38:40 +0800 Elias Mårtenson <lokedhs> wrote: > There isn't, but implementing it is possible in APL itself.
