Vector{T} is just a typealias for Array{T, 1} so it's still an array but limited to one dimension. Your problem can be solved with
convert(Array{Int, 2}, Jcodes) or equivalently convert(Matrix{Int}, Jcodes) On Wednesday, 10 December 2014 11:09:55 UTC, paul analyst wrote: > > And how to do it if the "J" is an array rather than a vector?
