Array editor.

[hbarkhof]

Would like to try the array editor written by David Liebtag but can't find how to call or use it. I do see a "aedit.dyalog"
But have no idea how to use it. Probably some simple instructions would do the job ?

If name is the name of an accessible variable array:

Place cursor on the name.
Click [Array Editor] toolbutton.

or

      ]Array.Edit name

Alternatively, in Dyalog ≥ 17.1 you could try

      ed←{⎕SE.Link.(Deserialise array⊣⎕ED'array'⊣array←Serialise ⍵)}
      name←ed name

You'll be presented with a modal Dyalog editor window in which your array is presented in Dyalog's version of array notation as a text matrix. This is fairly self explanatory but the three main things to understand are:

• character data are quoted while numerics are not
• within parentheses unquoted linebreaks or diamonds start new items of a nested vector
• within brackets unquoted linebreaks or diamonds start new cells of a multi-dimensional array

Users of Carlisle Group's Acre project management system already have access to

      ]acre.EditArray name

which follows the same protocol using APLAN in which presentation differs trivially from Dyalog's version.

Thank you Phil. First tip works great.
I use 17.1 but your second tip does not work for me.
got :
name←ed name
VALUE ERROR: Undefined name: name
name←ed name
Very probably my fault. Anyway the array editor works. Thanks again.

Substitute "name" with the name of your variable.

Maybe an easier to use version is:

      ed←{⍎⍵,'←⎕SE.Link.Deserialise ',⍵⊣⎕ED⍵⊣⍎⍵,'←⎕SE.Link.Serialise ',⍵}
      myvar←⍳2 2 3
      ed 'myvar'

Aha , okay , thanks Adam. I knew i did wrong !
