Hi @Craige_Hales ,
Thanks for the info on this, I found it quite interesting and helpful.
One thing I don't get though is how to force the \!U command with the hex. Let's say that you have a column like from the website that you reference earlier, where the entries are all U+hex, e.g. Beta = U+03D0
You can split up the text in the column with something like
Word(1,:Character,"+")||Word(2,:Character,"+")
Which would give you the output U03D0.
But, when I try to put that in a Parse() command with the \!U in front, JMP complains at me. I get that Parse("\!U03D0") gives beta. What's challenging me is that I can't concatenate the \!U to the hex code. For example, I would try
Parse("\!U"||Word(1,:Character,"+")||Word(2,:Character,"+"));
JMP complains. What I'd like the stuff inside the Parse command to be is literally "\!U03D0" so that when it runs parse on it, it actually evaluates it and returns beta. I'm just trying to think of how to do this as a column formula rather than a separate JSL script.
Thanks!,
DS
