Thanks to Raul for having taken the time & effort to comment these tasks and sharing his solutions.

AoC 2021, Day 01

"Warming up" (RM), I took a slightly different route;
doing a copy/paste from the website data window to a (Windows) .txt file.

With

   dacr=: -. & CR     NB. delete all CRs (from a string)
   dalf=: -. & LF     NB. delete all LFs (~~~)
   daeb=: -. & a:     NB. delete all empty boxes
   abes =: ' ' ,~ ]   NB. append blank (to end of string)

I handled data entry (conversion from file entry to list)

data_path_file=: 'X:\J_AoC\AoC_2021_01_x.txt' NB. small sample data ... (one number per line)

fetch_data_from_file=: 13 : '". ,> abes each daeb dalf each dacr each ;: 1!:1 < y' f.
   fetch_data_from-file
[: ". [: , [: > [: (' ' ,~ ])&.> [: -.&a: [: -.&(10{a.)&.> [: -.&(13{a.)&.> [: ;: [: 1!:1 <

and finally got hold of the file content as a list:

   ] data=. fetch_data_from_file data_path_file
199 200 208 210 200 207 240 269 260 263

Am now looking out for suggestions on how to tame the blown-up monster fetch_data_from_file (possibly arriving at a simpler and/or condensed version of that verb).

Thanks.

If nothing else, you can email yourself the text then copy and paste

or {{)n  ... }}

Depending on your email system, you might have to correct for
characters which have silently been changed in flight. (Typically,
anything that's not in the first 127 elements of a.)

I hope this helps,
