The editor may be used to edit Dyalog script files (.dyalog files) and general text files and to save the contents in the workspace. Additionally ⎕FIX can be used to fix scripts held in files. This I-Beam returns details about an object in the workspace specified by Y that is associated with such a file.
Y is a character vector that specifies the name of a workspace object or a ref to an object.
R is an 8-element vector containing the following information pertaining to the object and
| Element | Contains |
|---|---|
| 1 | Object name or ref (Y) |
| 2 | Parent namespace |
| 3 | Name class (see ⎕NC) |
| 4 | File name |
| 5 | Start line (first line in file, 0 origin, of the object) |
| 6 | Line count (number of lines in file occupied by the object) |
| 7 | File Checksum |
| 8 | File modification time (⎕TS format) |
If an object occupies a file in its entirety, both Start line and Line count are 0.
