Hi Tracy
Maybe also take a look at the 'nl' verb that is used in 'names' to see the
argument options (if they are useful to you):
names
┌───────┬─┬──┐
│list_z_...@│nl│
└───────┴─┴──┘
nl
┌─┬─┬──────────────────────────────────┐
│3│:│'' nl y │
│ │ │: │
│ │ │if. 0 e. #y do. y=. 0 1 2 3 end. │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │if. 1 4 8 e.~ 3!:0 y do. │
│ │ │ nms=. (4!:1 y) -. ;: 'x y x. y.'│
│ │ │else. │
│ │ │ nms=. cutopen_z_ y │
│ │ │end. │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │if. 0 e. #nms do. return. end. │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │if. #t=. x -. ' ' do. │
│ │ │ 'n s'=. '~*' e. t │
│ │ │ t=. t -. '~*' │
│ │ │ b=. t&E. &> nms │
│ │ │ if. s do. b=. +./"1 b │
│ │ │ else. b=. {."1 b end. │
│ │ │ nms=. nms #~ n ~: b │
│ │ │end. │
└─┴─┴──────────────────────────────────┘
Cheers, bob
