Hello, I am reading in tab-separated files with readdsv from 'tables/dsv'. Some columns consist of exact decimal numbers like 6.66. These generally involve amounts of a decimal currency. These are read in by readdsv as boxed strings. makenum from 'tables/csv' converts these strings to floats. I would like these strings to be converted exactly to rationals. How can I go about this in the easiest and most efficient way? I could not find information on parsing data types from strings.
Thanks in advance, Justin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
