Re: [Bug-apl] defining new operator

[Elias Mårtenson]

Well, yes. But why do you need it? Normally you wouldn't jump to lines in the code by number, but rather using labels.

That said, it's Emacs so of course it can be done. You can simply add the following to your Emacs init:

(defun em/gnu-apl-interactive-edit-mode-init ()

         (linum-mode nil))

(add-hook 'gnu-apl-interactive-edit-mode-hook 'em/gnu-apl-interactive-edit-mode-init)

Hi Elias,

thanks a lot.

It should be possible to add also the line numbers when I edit a function with emacs ?

thanks,

That's probably a bug in the parsing on the Emacs side. I'll check it when I get back home tonight.

Hello Jay,

I'm using emacs and gnu-apl-mode but when I try to define the operator without the space I receive an error: "unable to parse".

Generally I use emacs, cause under Mac OS X I'm not able to use the APL keyboard... I didn't find a way :-) (tried xmodmap, setxbdmap, etc).

I also tried with ]keyb (it displays correctly the APL keyboard on the screen, but I don't understand how the keys are mapped).

I tested without emacs (using copy'n'paste) and it works.

regards,

Fausto

You shouldn't need a space after the right parenthesis.

This works for me:

z←(F scan)x;y
z←⊂y←↑x
∆1:→(0=⍴x←1↓x)/0
z←z,⊂y←y F↑x
→∆1

      +scan 2 3 4
2 5 9

I had to:
- change " to ↓ for Drop
- use monadic ↑ instead of ⊃ for First (this is a Dyalog "migration
level" thing)
- replace modified assignment z,← with z←z,

Jay.
