Greetings, Years ago I wrote a function in APL to take a string vector and split it into a matrix at the point of the commas in the string. It really came in handy for the business applications I was writing. I converted it to J and thought I would share it as follows:
words =: 3 : 0 (($r),>./r)$(,r>/i.>./r=._1+(r,1+$a)-0,r=.(a=',')#1+i.$a)#inv(a~:',')#a=.,y ) words 'hello there,how,are,you today?' hello there how are you today?
