2021-12-23 03:57:26 <veltas      > swissChili: That sounds like a fun example problem, would you be willing to provide a contrived example CSV and specific lookup criteria?

2021-12-23 14:29:30 <potatoalienof13> you can implement your own looping keywords in forth, right?
2021-12-23 14:29:34 <potatoalienof13> how would you do that?
2021-12-23 14:37:06 <psf         > potatoalienof13: Most Forths have primitive words that will compile a conditional or unconditional jump to the location on the data stack.  If you write immediate-mode words that wrap those primitives, you can make your own looping constructs.

2021-12-23 15:04:27 <potatoalienof13> psf: thanks
2021-12-23 23:29:34 <swissChili  > veltas: OK, here's a contrived CSV processing example. Download the precipitation data for Northeast WY and Western SD from the national weather service (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bkBBYvuW2F1jDNSwY7KSeKnAwYAoV6m3_k7tw9ZzoBU/edit#gid=0), feel free to do some manual formatting to remove the duplicate header rows. Then, for any station with a precipitation in June, July or August over 2, print the county and total precipitation.
