Can we get k code from q codenfile which is lets say 100 lines big in an EASY way ?

There may be an easy way to get k code from a q file.  Some warnings:

til is ! in k:

q)til 3

0 1 2

k)!3

0 1 2

but q specializes ! with a type check (in q/q.k) :

q)til

k){$[0>@x;!x;'`type]}

so the parse tree of “til 1”

q)0N!parse “til 1”;

(k){$[0>@x;!x;'`type]};1)

which is going to make for a pretty messy ouput from a “q2k” converter.

further, q’s parse will not parse a file, only a string (containing no newlines), so you’re going to have problems parsing comments

i’m sure if there were a q2k program, someone would have got back to us.

best,

i just fixed the minor typo and it’s even smart enough to translate til to !

bravo
