Hi Jack,
Not that I know of. Most string output relies on .Q.s and it’s associated functions.
q).Q.s
k){$[(::)~x;“[”;`/:$[10h=@r:@[S[(."]("mailto:;`/:$[10h=@r:@[S[(.“)\c”)-2 1;0];x;::];, **-3!** x;r]]}
As you can see .Q.s relies on -3! for some types, -3! is an internal function and respects console settings so easiest option is to set \c very high.
For some types .Q.s2 would work and you can hack round that to output large tables etc. e.g.
q){-1 x;} each .Q.s2 ( a:til 100000)
q){-1 x;} each .Q.s2 (-1000?`3)!til 1000
This will work but I wouldn’t like to rely on these undocumented functions.
Regards,
Ryan
