This is a simple C app to convert MS Word style matrices such as:
|■(14&3&8@5&1&-2@0&11&0)|
into WolframAlpha style matrices such as:
{{14,3,8},{5,1,-2},{0,11,0}}
This app has no error checking or help at the moment. It simply exists to quickly allow me to copy a Word matrix and paste it into WolframAlpha.
Run it like:
./word_to_wolfram '|■(14&3&8@5&1&-2@0&11&0)|'
For easier usage on a Mac:
./word_to_wolfram '|■(14&3&8@5&1&-2@0&11&0)|' |pbcopy
