This already exists. Just load FILE_IO from workspace 5 and you can use things
like FIO∆fread

Jürgen,
While we are at it,
Can ⎕FIO[something_integer] can be made to understand also things like:
⎕FIO['fopen']
⎕FIO['fclose']
⎕FIO['popen']
⎕FIO['read']
and so on ? Would simplify coding time a LOT and help readability !
my 2 cents,
Xtian.

Would anyone be interested if I actually implemented support regex by
calling into the C library?
I'm envisioning something like this:
* "^([a-z]+):([0-9]+)$" regex∆scan "foo:123"*
┏→━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃"foo" "123"┃
┗∊━━━━━━━━━━┛

At some point I really wanted to implement the simplest editor,
namely ed (it would be much better than any APL system has offered), in APL,
but I never finished the regex part. Perhaps it would be a nice exercise for
someone who’s interested in learning APL to actually implement some of the most
used Unix command line utilities.
