Hi Linda,
a=:1 1 2 3 5r1 2 3 5 8 NB. 5r1 is just 5, so really this is just creates a
list, as r is not a verb
a
1 1 2 3 5 2 3 5 8
1 1 2 3 5 ([: x: %) 1 2 3 4 8 NB. I would normally write 1 1 2 3 5 x: @: %
1 2 3 4 8 , but I know you prefer [:
1 1r2 2r3 3r4 5r8 NB. ([: x: %) is a verb that works the way you expect
Hope this helps.
Cheers, bob
