associative arrays

[fausap]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create an associative array (like python dictionaries) in APL.

I found (on RosettaCode) the code using a "namespace"
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Associative ... eation#APL

but I see no way to iterate through them.

Or I could create a class (with two fields : key and value) but I'm wondering if I could have a way like p[key] to access the values.

thanks in advance,
Fausto

Wrong link. This is better:

There is also http://aplwiki.com/KVP on the APL Wiki.

Hello,

I tried to install KVP using acre. (i'm using dyalog 14.0 unregistered-32bit)

I downloaded and decompressed the zip file, I also modified the INI file changing the ipaddress to acre.aplwiki.com, but when I try to download everything, I receive always a "Server not found" error message.

The server is reachable and pings ok.

So really I cannot understand why there's such error message.

thanks

my ini file is:

Code: Select all

[Acre]
 ipaddress  = acre.aplwiki.com
 portnumber = 59753
 username  = default
 password  = default

Sorry for that.

Recently I converted the APL wiki from Windows to Linux. That posed a problem because the acre server does not run under Linux (yet).

I got around this by moving the acre server to a different machine: acreserver.does-it.net. I should have updated the wiki pages accordingly but forgot to do this.

Hello Kai,

I did the change in the ini file, but I receive the same error message.
In this case I can resolve the name, but the ping doesn't work (maybe it's ok due to a firewall preventing the reply, but with the other address the pings worked)

thanks,
Fausto

The ping won't work indeed.

However, I have identified the problem (I think), so please try again.

Hello Kai,

now it works!
Thanks
