I need to convert the following list of 5 (in reality, far more) 11-character dates:
May 04 2020 May 01 2020 Apr 30 2020 Apr 29 2020 Apr 28 2020 $ --> 5 11 to a list of 5 boxed dates: +-----------------+ |May 04 2020| +-----------------+ |May 01 2020| +-----------------+ |Apr 30 2020| +----------------+ |Apr 29 2020| +----------------+ |Apr 28 2020| +----------------+ $ --> 5 (Sorry, my email limits me to a proportional font.) I've tried everything I can think of, with no luck. I'm sure the answer will turn out to be rather easy. The closest I've come in terms of boxing was boxing every character (which is NOT what I want): +------------------------+ |M|a|y| |0|2| |2|0|2|0| +------------------------+ etc. $ --> 5 11 Explicit code only, please! Thanks! Harvey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
