Re: Unable to save workspace

Thanks, Morten - that resolved the issue. A couple of other accompanying factors: 1. I had a 'Find' window open when I last ran ]Runtime and when I first tried )save. 2. There were what appeared to me to be spurious blank lines produced after the result of ]Runtime: ]runTime "((200⍴ns)SSASSIGNtest ( ...

Unable to save workspace

I'd been using ]Runtime and then got
)save
Cannot perform operation when # is referenced by session namespace.
Reached via:
⎕SE.SALTUtils...dmx...EN

What does this mean and how do I recover from it?

Re: JPEG files - extracting Comments from the metadata

Correction regarding use of ⎕S. I had failed to read sufficient of the "small print" on the search utility and line [3] failed to produce the desired answer in about 1% of cases. This is because the default mode for ⎕S is to treat the input data as a delimited stream of "lines" and reset the counter ...

Re: JPEG files - extracting Comments from the metadata

Correction to literary allusion:
I should have written that I felt like the wedding guest in the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Re: JPEG files - extracting Comments from the metadata

Apologies to Pierre for not pursuing his suggestion. Instead, I decided on the direct approach, which has resulted in a deeper understanding of Dyalog and Unicode, albeit that I was sometimes left feeling a bit like the Ancient Mariner - "A sadder but a wiser man he woke the morrow morn". I have ...

JPEG files - extracting Comments from the metadata

Could someone explain to me how I could extract from a JPEG file the Comments field of the metadata? (I don't really want to know the details, if a function to do it is already available. If it could write back to the file, that would be a bonus.)

Thanks,

Nicholas

Re: Display of double-overstrike character in various browse

Stefano,

How are you displaying your example - can you send me a link?

I'm using Windows 10, 32 bit on my PC and 64 bit on my laptop, both correctly displaying tally at
https://xpqz.github.io/learnapl/manip.h ... epth-match
Does this display correctly for you?
Incidentally, the version of Edge is probably 98.0.1108.50.

Re: Display of double-overstrike character in various browse

Maybe its just coincidence but I'm claiming the credit for getting this sorted. Two days ago I reported it as a browser problem in each of Edge, Opera and Chrome - pointing out to each of them that it was OK in Firefox and Windows Notepad - and today they all display tally correctly! The fact that ...

Display of double-overstrike character in various browsers

I've been looking at Stefan Kruger's excellent Learning APL at m and noticed that there is a problem with the display of Tally at m in Chrome and Opera, though it displays properly in Firefox. (Incidentally, the text displays OK in Windows Notepad.) Before taking the matter up with Chrome and Opera ...
