Re: [Jchat] Saving Programs and Variables Permanently for Future Use
Modesty forbids me to mention that "Learning J" section 28.4 offers a discussion of persistent variables mapped to files which might be relevant.

Re: [Jchat] Saving Programs and Variables Permanently for Future Use
Chris has already replied about how to save and reload j words. If you want to go beyond saving to organizing, refactoring and reusing take a look at Jod. The joddocument addon installs a detailed PDF that addresses all these issues.

[Jchat] Saving Programs and Variables Permanently for Future Use
Hi folks: I am completely new to J, but I have fairly extensive experience from programming in APL years ago. So I am not finding it difficult to figure out enough about J to satisfy my present rather simple programming needs. However, in APL I was used to working in a workspace and then saving it - ')save name' I recall - and loading it when I needed it again. I have had no trouble finding a J 'workspace' nor manipulating data in it using simple J code, but when I go to FILE and save it, it gets called ~temp/1.ijs or ~temp/2.ijs .. . I need to know how to name and save permanently so I can reliably retrieve my previous software and data. Oddly, I have not come across this information in any of the learning material I have seen so far. Directions to this one piece of information will transform my entire weekend! Please : ^ ))) Help will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance. Rodney. -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
