Hey there, As new user to J (but several years experience with C and Java), I find it very, very interesting. The power of its one liners and mathematical heritage really have me hooked. I was wondering though if it has similar capabilities as awk. What's the equivalent to this awk script in J?: BEGIN { FS=";" } { print $1+$2 } This script sets a FieldSeparator to ;, and then for every "row", add the first and second column and prints it. I would like to replace awk with J! Thank you, Lee P.S. Excuse me if I've misidentified J sentences.
