Quad Name List - ⎕NL (System Function)

Monadic Function

Z←⎕NL R

returns a character matrix of the names of variables, functions, operators, etc. where R = 2 (variables), 3 (functions), 4 (operators), etc.

R is an integer scalar or vector consisting of the name classes whose names should be returned in Z. For a complete list of Name Classes, see the description of Quad Name Classification ⎕NC.

Z is a character matrix of user objects in the workspace, each row being a name in the workspace.

Quad Names List sample monadic calls:

      ⎕NL 3     ⍝ list function names in the active workspace
      ⎕NL 2     ⍝ list variable names in the active workspace
      ⎕NL 3 2   ⍝ list function AND variable names in the active workspace
      ⍴⎕NL 3    ⍝ The shape of names list - 1st element returned(# rows) shows the "user Function Count" in the active workspace

NARS has added additional features over and beyond APL's standard ⎕NL. Magic Functions are in some ways for advanced APL programmers and or NARS developers - or anyone with a great idea to improve APL's functionality, see NARS Discussion Board on topics such as New Primitive Operators. To see all magic functions available in NARS use the following:

Most magic functions are transparent to you the APL user since they implement APL symbol functionality; however, they enhance APL's functionality, ref. ⎕FMT.

Dyadic Function

Z←L ⎕NL R

returns a character matrix of the names of user variables, functions, operators, etc. where R = 2 (variables), 3 (functions), 4 (operators), etc.

R is one of more of 2 (variables), 3 (functions), 2 3 (both functions and variables), etc. For a complete list of Name Classes, see the description of Quad Name Classification ⎕NC.

L is a letter or letters for limiting the names list, i.e. which begin with the letter(s) to show.

Quad Names List sample dyadic calls:

      "A" ⎕NL 3     ⍝ List all function names beginning with A.
      "M" ⎕NL 2     ⍝ List all variable names beginning with M.
      "AC" ⎕NL 3 2  ⍝ List all function AND variable names beginning with letter "A" and also letter "C".

Function ⎕NL may be used inside user functions whereas system commands )FNS and )VARS cannot be used inside a user function.

Note: ⎕NL is available as both a monadic and dyadic form system function, you cannot assign a value to it.
