Re: [Bug-apl] A better way to insert characters into a character vector?

[Elias Mårtenson]

I'd do it like this:

    a[⍳2],"www",a[4]

But I don't think there's a "better" way.

Hi Bug APL,

I find that I frequently will do this:

      a←'alex'

      a[3]←⊂'www'

Which results in this:

      a

┌→─────────┐

│al ┌→──┐ x│

│   │www│  │

│   └───┘  │

└∊─────────┘

And then I will do this, because I want a character vector:

      a←⊃,/a

      a

alwwwx

So I guess more simply put. Is there a way to get from "alex" to "alwwwx" without the intermediary nested thing? Am I approaching this problem with the wrong functions?
