Hello again I managed to solve it, but I don't like it much, so feel free to educate me.
Reading the file, and evaluating the result is something that looked nice: p =. 1!:1<'day02.input' +/>ev each cutopen p xxxx +/>ev2 each cutopen p xxxx Now are the evaluating functions. I really don't like how they are done. I'd even prefer to create a table and search in it, but I don't know how. So a select. is used. ev=: 3 : 0 select. y case. 'A X' do. 4 case. 'A Y' do. 8 case. 'A Z' do. 3 case. 'B X' do. 1 case. 'B Y' do. 5 case. 'B Z' do. 9 case. 'C X' do. 7 case. 'C Y' do. 2 case. 'C Z' do. 6 end. ) And the same with different numbers for ev2. Would this be an appropriate way to approach the problem? Is there a "better" way? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
