Re: Re: Magic q JAPH

I had to paste the individual lines all onto one line before I could get it to run. Once you've done that, you can run it through B::Deparse to get an idea of where it's safe to insert line breaks. Too bad the OP didn't break it at safe spots rather than stress out over trying to keep it to 40 columns.

But then again, it can be confusing getting used to the text entry box at first. It wraps at 58 characters, making it tricky, especially for new monks, to know what to do about long lines.

UPDATE: The original post has been fixed. Well done!

No offense, but why are you cutting and pasting when they have that nice little link that says, "Download code"?	[reply]

Anonymous Monk said, No offense, but.... No offense taken. What you are simply misunderstanding is that when first posted, this well-done JAPH was cut into about eight rows of 40 columns. Once downloaded with the Download Code option that you mentioned, one still had to cut-and-paste (or otherwise manipulate) those eight lines all onto one line before it would work, since the line-breaks in the original version of the post broke the JAPH. The problem in the original post has since been corrected, and now the "Download Code" link produces code that will actually run. (Kudos to the original poster for fixing the problem).
