Scripts
Scripts are plain text files containing J expressions. Typically the file extension is .ijs.
Loading the scripts runs the J expressions.
Ctrl+N
0!:0 <'filename.ijs'
0!:1 <'filename.ijs'
open a new script window
run the script filename.ijs; note boxing of filename
run the script with display
0!:0 y
0!:1 y
0!:10 y
run the J noun y as a script
run the J noun y displaying the result
run the J noun y and continue on errors
load 'filename.ijs'
similar to 0!:0 except that the script is loaded within an
explicit definitions, and hence local definitions in the script
do not exist upon completion. This allows a script to have
definitions that are local to the script.
loads a library script, for example pacman is the script
system/util/pacman.ijs. Enter scripts'v' to see the
list of script names.
loads a script from the addons directory, for example
load '~addons/stats/r/rserve.ijs'
similar to load except that if the script has already been
loaded, it is not loaded again.
load 'scriptname'
load '~addons/../filename.ijs'
require 'filename'
Typically, applications are built from several scripts.
The Project system helps you access and manage your J script files.
For example, it lets build you applications from several scripts. Scripts are maintained
individually during development, and can be compiled into a single output script for distribution/runtime/installation purposes. You can customize the build to suit your application.
