Examples

~zod/try=> .^(a//=name=/~zod)
587.481.414.525.965.665.129.596
~zod/try=> (,@t .^(a//=name=/~zod))
'|Tianming|'

First we use .^ to load the contents of a//=name=/~zod as a noun. Subsequently using ,@t to cast to a cord, we can see that the contents are '|Tianming|'.

~zod/try=> :into %/test 'hello'
+ /~zod/try/2/test
~zod/try=> .^(cx/%/test)
478.560.413.032
~zod/try=> (,@t .^(cx/%/test))
'hello'

This is similar to the previous example, but uses our simple :into program to write a cord to a file. Then we follow the above method to confirm its contents.
