I often find myself joining strings with x/y
The most recent example was:
('http://real-chart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=' ,
]@,&'&a=10&b=2&c=1993&d=00&e=6&f=2016&g=d&ignore=.csv') 'TICKER'
I think it would be handy to have a simple verb that can take a box of
strings / indices and merge it with a box of inputs
Something like:
('hello ';0;0;0) applyTemplate ('a';'b')
Would result in
hello aaa
('hello ';0;' hello';1) applyTemplate ('a';'b')
would be:
hello a hello b
I struggled with this for about 25 minutes to make it tacit and gave
up. Any takers?
(I thought about using printf but figured it was too heavy)
applyTemplate =: 4 : 0
str=.''
for_p. x do.
str=.str,(( y {::~ ]) :: ] ) (>p)
end.
)
('hello ';0;' hello ';1) applyTemplate ('a';'b')
