Re: [Bug-apl] Submission for GNU APL Bits_and_Pieces directory

Hi Alex,

thanks for offering this. I would change a few things to make that code even more useful:

- make the separator an (ideally optional) left argument of ReadTableData.
  Many data files are written in CSV (comma separated values) format which uses comma instead of space,

- use ⎕UCS instead of ⎕AV to make the code more portable between different APL interpreters,

- and maybe make it work for > 2 columns (by guessing the number of columns from the first line in the file).

Hi Bug-apl,

I am soliciting feedback (as per the process) of the attached APL code that will take a file  that has a layout of two columns (space separator) and return a matrix.
