Welcome to PS TEXT EDIT PS TEXT EDIT (TEDIT) is a multi-screen block mode text editor designed to make editing your documents easier and more efficient. “PS” stands for Professional Support. You interact with TEDIT by pressing function keys and keyboard keys, or by typing commands on a command line. TEDIT works with all Tandem terminals (except the 6510), as well as with many models of the IBM 3270 Information Display systems.
Welcome to PS TEXT EDIT How to Use This Book Use the Table of Contents and the Index to guide you to the appropriate section or page number. Section 1, “Introduction to TEDIT,” contains an overview of TEDIT, including an explanation of what TEDIT is, its features, types of commands, and how to start TEDIT. Section 2, “TEDIT Topics,” explains basic and advanced concepts such as a persistent text command and text item, what are the boundaries of a paragraph, and what is a window.
Welcome to PS TEXT EDIT Where to Go for More Some of the information covered in the PS TEXT EDIT Reference Manual is Information also covered in the PS TEXT EDIT Quick Start, PS TEXT EDIT and PS TEXT FORMAT User’s Guide, and in the online help in different formats. The PS TEXT EDIT Quick Start is a short tutorial that helps you quickly learn the basics of TEDIT in twenty minutes. The PS TEXT EDIT and PS TEXT FORMAT User’s Guide is a taskoriented, step-by-step guide to using TEDIT and TFORM.
Welcome to PS TEXT EDIT What’s New in This This edition comprises an integration of information in the second edition Edition and update 1 to the second edition. Update 1 added the following information to the second edition. Three new commands have been added: OBEY, SETPROFILE, and UNMARKPOSITION. The new topic, Named-function-keys, has been added. The repeat count allows you to repeat an entire command line. The GOTOPOSITION command has been changed to allow 100 marked positions.
1 Introduction to TEDIT What Is PS TEXT EDIT (TEDIT) is a versatile and powerful text editor that lets you PS TEXT EDIT? type text on the terminal screen and lets you control the text on the screen by pressing function keys and typing TEDIT commands. TEDIT is designed for knowledge workers who use GUARDIAN 90. If you are a manager, writer, sales representative, marketing person, administrative assistant, or programmer, TEDIT makes your editing easier. If you use Tandem’s PS MAIL, TEDIT can be your editor.
Introduction to TEDIT TEDIT Commands TEDIT Commands There are four types of TEDIT commands: command command + required information text command + text item text item + text command Some commands work on their own; some require additional information; and some require a text item or text command to define their action. Table 1-1 shows the different forms and examples of the four types of commands. Table 1-1.
Introduction to TEDIT Terminals and TEDIT Text commands and text items persist in TEDIT. Persist means they remain active until you cancel them or replace them with another text command or text item. For example, if you use the command structure SENTENCE ALIGN, SENTENCE persists. After you align the sentence, SENTENCE persists, so you can enter DELETE by itself to remove a sentence or COPY to duplicate a sentence. The first word in the command structure persists.
Introduction to TEDIT Starting TEDIT Starting TEDIT To begin using TEDIT, follow these steps: 1. Log on to the system. 2. When you see the command interpreter prompt 1>, type: 1> TEDIT 3. Press RETURN or ENTER . The first screen you see gives instructions for entering a file name and for obtaining “Newuser” information. Newuser explains how to begin using TEDIT and introduces you to the online help.
Introduction to TEDIT Starting TEDIT To open a file with READ-only access, enter: 1> TEDIT FILENAME R Note TEDIT opens files with write access; this is the default. You can specify write access when opening a file by entering a W after the file name.
2 TEDIT Topics Overview To appreciate the TEDIT environment, you need to learn a few TEDIT concepts before beginning an edit session. These concepts include: The following text items: BALANCED-EXPRESSION PARAGRAPH CHARACTER REGION (EOL) END-OF-LINE SECTION LINE SENTENCE WINDOW WORD Patterns Persistent text commands and text items Profile Ranges Repeat count Scratchpad Status line Screen window (a view of your file) Most of the information covered here is also available in the online help.
TEDIT Topics Understanding Syntax Understanding Syntax This manual and the TEDIT online help use several syntax notation symbols to help you learn how to use the TEDIT text items with commands. For the syntax used in this manual, refer to Table 2-1. Table 2-1. Syntax Conventions Convention Explanation UPPERCASE LETTERS lowercase italic letters Words in uppercase letters must be entered exactly as shown. [] {} | 2–2 Words in lowercase italic letters give the generic name of a certain type of item.
TEDIT Topics Understanding Syntax Here is an example using the braces and the vertical bars: Choose just one. Choose one. { WORD | WO } { BACKWARD DELETE ERASE FORWARD INSERT LOWERCASE UPPERCASE | | | | | | | BACKW DELE ERA FO INSE LO UP | | | | | | } WORD FORWARD or WO DELE Note Note About the Examples in This Book You can shorten command names and text items to as few characters as necessary to distinguish one command or text item from all others.
TEDIT Topics Understanding Syntax To use the examples in this manual, you simply: Press the *C function key to display the command line at the top of your screen. Type the command name and any additional information (as shown in the example) on the command line. Then press the *C function key to start the action. You usually enter TEDIT commands in this manner. But you can also enter TEDIT commands by pressing one function key or a combination of two function keys.
TEDIT Topics BALANCED-EXPRESSION BALANCED-EXPRESSION A BALANCED-EXPRESSION is a text item that consists of a sequence of characters, from an open delimiter to a matching close delimiter. The opening and closing delimiters are part of the balanced-expression. For example: Closing delimiter A sequence of characters between two delimiters Opening delimiter This is what a simple ( balanced-expression ) can look like.
TEDIT Topics BALANCED-EXPRESSION Examples: 1. To copy a balanced-expression to the scratchpad, place the cursor on the open delimiter of the expression; then enter: Command: BALANCED-EXPRESSION COPY 2. To change lowercase letters in a balanced-expression to uppercase, place the cursor on the open delimiter of the expression; then enter: Command: UPPERCASE BALANCED-EXPRESSION Tips TEDIT uses the balanced-expression delimiter settings in the current profile.
TEDIT Topics BALANCED-EXPRESSION And the contents of your file looks like this: TEDIT recognizes this as part of the text. This matches the close delimiter, but you do not have a matching open delimiter. Begin var := var + 1; count := count - 3; END TEDIT would not recognize “Begin” as an open delimiter; you would need to change it to all uppercase letters (BEGIN). You can assign up to ten open and close delimiter pairs with the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command. You must specify both an open and close set.
TEDIT Topics BALANCED-EXPRESSION Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a BALANCED-EXPRESSION. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN BAL is not supported by TEDIT. BACKWARD BAL moves the cursor to an open or close delimiter. COPY BAL duplicates a balanced-expression to the scratchpad. For a definition of scratchpad, see “Scratchpad” in this section. DELETE BAL removes a balanced-expression. ERASE BAL replaces a balanced-expression with blanks.
TEDIT Topics CHARACTER CHARACTER A CHARACTER is a text item that consists of a single number, letter, symbol, or blank. For example: A & 3 – – – – letter symbol blank number What to Enter [ repeat-count ]{ CHARACTER | CH }{ BACKWARD | COPY | DELET | ERASE | FORWAR | INSER | LOWERCASE| MOVE | UPPERCASE| BACKW COP DELE ERA FO INSE LO M UP } | | | | | | | | repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this text item. See “Repeat Count” in this section for details. Examples: 1.
TEDIT Topics CHARACTER 2. To copy the character on which the cursor is positioned into the scratchpad, enter: Command: COPY CHARACTER 3. To switch two characters to the left of the cursor, you can use multiple commands. Assume you have just typed “Teh” for “The” and the cursor is on the space after the “h.” (The cursor position is very important for this example to work properly.
TEDIT Topics CHARACTER Tips As a text item, CHARACTER can persist on the status line. (See “Persistent” in this section.) Your terminal might be capable of displaying more than the basic 95 characters of the ASCII seven-bit character set. The following is a list of this set: 20-2f 30-3f 40-4f 50-5f 60-6f 70-7f !"#$%&' 01234567 @ABCDEFG PQRSTUVW `abcdefg pqrstuvw ()*+,-.
TEDIT Topics CHARACTER FORWARD CH moves the cursor forward one character. INSERT CH shifts the text of the entire line to the right by one character and inserts a space. LOWERCASE CH changes a letter from uppercase to lowercase. MOVE CH transfers a character to the scratchpad. UPPERCASE CH changes a letter from lowercase to uppercase.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options Definitions of Reconfigure options describe the options settings of the profile. The Reconfigure Options RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command lets you see and change the default settings that control how TEDIT executes some commands. These settings, along with those in RECONFIGURE FUNCTION-KEYS, are part of the profile. The reconfigure options are defined in the following paragraphs.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options Auto Word Wrap The default setting is ON. Auto word wrap causes TEDIT to automatically adjust the text to fit within the right margin of your text. If text exceeds the align width, TEDIT moves words to the next line when you use the ALIGN, BREAKLINE, REPLACE, RETRIEVE, DELETE EOL, and INSERT EOL commands. If the RETURN function key is ON and BREAKLINE is assigned to the RETURN key, auto word wrap works whenever you end a line with RETURN.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options You can use the cursor keys on the terminal keyboard to position the cursor anywhere on the screen. OFF sets all ending blanks to NULL. (NULL used here means empty spaces.) These NULL codes make inserting text easy. If you use the cursor keys to position the cursor to the right of NULL codes, TEDIT shifts the text to the left.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options OPENWINDOW Options Overlap Paragraph Lines Printer Page Remarks 2–16 This setting can contain four options that operate during the OPENWINDOW command. There are no default option settings. Changes become effective on the next window that is opened without KEEP. Select none to four of these options, separated by spaces: 1.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options REPLACE Options This setting can contain four options that automatically act on replace when you use the REPLACE COMMAND. There are no default settings for these options. The options you select in the reconfigure options screen for REPLACE are in effect with the next windows you open, not the window you currently have open.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options will be used for the following window. Select none to three of these options, separated by spaces: Section Marker Sentence Stops 1. EXTENDED-SEARCH allows an extended search pattern containing wild cards (special characters that represent or match one or more characters). 2. IGNORE-CASE disregards uppercase or lowercase during the search, so “This” matches “THIS” or “this.” 3.
TEDIT Topics Definitions of Reconfigure Options Word Stops These are characters or a blank that define the boundaries of a word. The defaults are: blank ! " # $ % & ( ) * + , . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ { | } ~ Word stops define the limit for the text item WORD. TEDIT uses these settings for commands that take action on the text item WORD. Note The beginning and ending quotes that you see in the profile screen are not part of the word stops.
TEDIT Topics EOL EOL (END-OF-LINE) The EOL is a text item that is one space beyond the last nonblank character of a line. For example: The last nonblank character in this line Let's go sailing.
TEDIT Topics EOL Examples: 1. To copy characters from the cursor position to the end of the line, including the next two lines, enter: Command: 3 EOL COPY 2. To move the cursor to the previous end of a line, enter: Command: EOL BACKWARD Tips EOL is an acronym for END-OF-LINE. You can use EOL anywhere you use END-OF-LINE. As a text item, EOL can persist on the status line. (See “Persistent” in this section.
TEDIT Topics EOL Related Commands The following commands perform some action on an EOL. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN EOL is not supported by TEDIT. BACKWARD EOL moves the cursor to the previous end of line. COPY EOL duplicates characters from the cursor to the end of a line to the scratchpad. DELETE EOL removes characters from the cursor to the end of a line or joins two lines. ERASE EOL replaces characters from the cursor to the end of a line with blanks.
TEDIT Topics LINE LINE LINE is a text item that consists of all the characters (up to 239 characters wide) on a line of your file. For example: Each line has a line number. This is a line. A blank line 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The Publications group is giving a speech on Pocket Guides this Monday. If you would like to attend, please notify Sally by Friday (Sally is the representative for the Publications group). After the speech, you are invited to stay for a question and answer session.
TEDIT Topics LINE Examples: 1. To adjust the right margin of a line of text to the align width, place the cursor on the line you want to adjust; then enter: Command: LINE ALIGN 2. To remove two lines from your file, beginning with the line in which the cursor is positioned, enter: Command: 2 DELETE LINE Tips TEDIT treats blank lines as lines. A line can be from 1 to 239 characters wide. As a text item, LINE can persist on the status line. (See “Persistent” in this section.
TEDIT Topics LINE Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a LINE. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN LI adjusts the right margin of the line to the align width. BACKWARD LI moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous line. COPY LI duplicates all characters in the line into the scratchpad. DELETE LI removes the line. ERASE LI replaces all characters in the line with blanks.
TEDIT Topics NAMED-FUNCTION-KEYS NAMED-FUNCTION-KEYS You can reference function keys by their key name. What to Enter < [ S ] F + number ROLL { UP | DOWN } { PREV | PAGE } PAGE LINE { INS | DEL } RETURN > < > must surround key names. S indicates a shifted key. F + number indicates a function key followed by a number from 1 to 16. ROLLUP, ROLLDOWN PREVPAGE, NEXTPAGE LINEDEL, LINEINS RETURN are all key names.
TEDIT Topics NAMED-FUNCTION-KEYS Note For the IBM 3270 Information Display terminals, you enter: < [S] [S] { Pfn } > { ENTER } S indicates a shifted key. Pfn indicates a function key followed by a number from 1 to 24. ENTER is a key. Examples: 1. To press the SHIFT key and then press SHIFT key and F3 in one key stroke, enter: Command: 2. To press the F2 simultaneously, followed by F3 , enter: Command: ; 3.
TEDIT Topics NAMED-FUNCTION-KEYS 4. To assign shifted function key F5 to function key F1 , enter the following in the RECONFIGURE FUNCTION keys screen: F1: Tips Each function key can reference other function keys indirectly, to a maximum of 16 key presses. If you reference a function key more than 16 times, TEDIT assumes a loop, and then an advice message is displayed. Named function keys are useful when using the SETPROFILE command.
TEDIT Topics PARAGRAPH PARAGRAPH A PARAGRAPH is a text item that consists of all the characters between the cursor and one of these boundaries: A blank line A line with a left indentation that differs from the indentation of the line below the cursor A line that begins (in column 1) with one of the format stops listed in the profile The end of the file What to Enter [ repeat-count ]{ PARAGRAPH | PA }{ ALIGN | BACKWARD | COPY | DELETE | ERASE | FORWARD | INSERT | LOWERCASE| MOVE | UPPERCASE| AL BACKW COP D
TEDIT Topics PARAGRAPH 2. To add six blank lines below the cursor position, enter: Command: PARAGRAPH INSERT The number of lines to be inserted can be changed by using the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command. Tips When you use PARAGRAPH with INSERT, TEDIT inserts lines in your text. The number of lines inserted is the number of paragraph lines set in the current profile. The default setting is six lines.
TEDIT Topics PARAGRAPH Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a PARAGRAPH. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN PA adjusts text at the right margin of the paragraph to the align width. BACKWARD PA moves the cursor to the beginning of the previous paragraph. COPY PA duplicates characters to the scratchpad. DELETE PA removes characters from the cursor to the end of the paragraph.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS PATTERNS Patterns, used with search or replace texts, can contain special characters (called wild cards) that represent or “match” more than one character. Enter patterns only with the EXTENDED-SEARCH option in the SEARCH or REPLACE commands. For example, on the SEARCH response lines enter: The default for lines and columns This pattern matches either affect or effect. You must include extended-search; otherwise, TEDIT searches for a phrase that looks exactly like "[ae]ffect.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS What to Enter Table 2-2 shows the wild cards that TEDIT recognizes. Table 2-2. Wild Cards for Patterns Wild Card Definition @ Means that the character following the “@” is not a wild card but is literal. For example: @? — matches a “?” @@ — matches an “@” The beginning of a pattern matches the characters that follow when they occur at the start of a line. If < is within a pattern, it matches itself.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS Table 2-2. Wild Cards for Patterns (continued) Wild Card Definition * Matches zero or any number of occurrences of the preceding pattern in text. For example: [ab]* — matches any number of lowercase ab’s, including none Matches any uppercase or lowercase letter or any whole number from 0-9. For example: 3\I — matches any number 3 followed by a letter or number Matches any special character (a printable ASCII character), not a letter or number. For example: \N.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS How to Use Enter EXTENDED-SEARCH as an option in SEARCH or REPLACE; then type the pattern, including wild cards. For example: For the SEARCH command response lines, enter: A wild card pattern The default for lines and columns Search for: In lines: In columns: Options: (?*) F/L 1:239 E The extended-search option The E (extended-search) option indicates that the search-text “(?*)” is a pattern and that TEDIT searches for any number of characters in parentheses.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS 2. To search for one or more uppercase letters or lowercase letters, enter: Search for: In lines: In columns: Options: 3. To search for a single character in parentheses, such as a # in this case, enter: Search for: In lines: In columns: Options: 4.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS For the REPLACE command response lines, enter: The wild card pattern for the search text The wild card pattern for the replacement text Replace: With: In lines: In columns: Options: The default for lines and columns ?*.> @1! */B 1:239 E The extended-search option The E (extended-search) option indicates that the search-text “?*.>“ and the replace-text “@1!” are patterns.
TEDIT Topics PATTERNS There are two forms of wild card patterns that can be used in the “With:” field of the REPLACE command when you use the extended-search option: 1. @0—inserts all the characters matched with the search-text in the replace-text. 2. @n—where n is 1-9, and inserts the characters matched by the nth indefinite part of the search-text. The indefinite part of the search-text is either the ?, [ ], \I, \S, \A, \U, \L, or \N optionally followed by *.
TEDIT Topics Persistent Persistent A text command or text item “persists” (remains effective) in TEDIT once you use it. This lets you use the command with different items or an item with different commands many times without reentering them. The persistent text command or text item appears on the status line. For example: 2) $MYSYS.MYSUB.MYFILE 100/123 1:79 Copy B30. The COPY command persists. What to Enter Enter a text command such as DELETE.
TEDIT Topics Persistent Tips Only a text command can replace a text command on the status line when you use a text command assigned to a function key or when you enter a text command alone on the command line. Only a text item can replace a text item on the status line when you use a text command assigned to a function key or when you enter a text command alone on the command line. CANCEL removes the persistent text command or text item from the status line.
TEDIT Topics Profile Profile A profile contains settings that controls how TEDIT executes some commands. TEDIT provides a default profile named “*” so you can start editing. You can create and save your own profile with the RECONFIGURE and SAVEPROFILE commands. Your profiles are stored in the file TEDPROFL, which is in your default subvolume. If you have no profiles, TEDIT uses the system profile (see Appendix C). A profile consists of two parts.
TEDIT Topics Profile Figure 2-1. Contents of a Profile Options Function-Keys Profile * from $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TEDPROFL, created 12JUN85.
TEDIT Topics Profile What to Enter You can change some or all of the profile settings to customize TEDIT for your particular needs by using the RECONFIGURE command. To change any setting in either the options or the function-keys part of the profile, just place the cursor over the item you wish to change and type in the new setting. Use the *C command to retain your changes in this editing session.
TEDIT Topics Profile Once you create your own profile, you can save it by entering the SAVEPROFILE command. Otherwise, your new settings will be in effect only until the end of your current editing session. You can use one of your saved profiles with the USEPROFILE command. If you make changes to the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS or FUNCTION-KEYS screen and then use the CANCEL function key, any changes you entered are cancelled.
TEDIT Topics Ranges Ranges Figure 2-2. The Concept of Ranges (Lines and Columns) Column range Line range For this exercise in ACCOUNTING 1A, you will use just part of the tax table on the W-4 form for employees withholding allowances. Table 1-B contains the information that we will be using this week. Do not lose this copy; you will need it for subsequent exercises.
TEDIT Topics Ranges Ranges are used in TEDIT with certain commands. Ranges allow you to specify certain areas (defined by lines and columns) of text so TEDIT can take action on these areas. For example, you can specify a range of lines beginning at the first line in your file to the bottom line of the window and a range of columns such as 10 through 50. Figure 2-3 shows how TEDIT looks at these ranges in your file. Figure 2-3.
TEDIT Topics Ranges Line ranges allow special designations for referring to lines symbolically. You can use ranges and special line designators to limit the scope of some TEDIT commands. For example, in the REPLACE command you can enter in the line range field: T+7/43-6 Begin 7 lines after T, the top line on the screen Lines 21 through 37 is the line range. End 6 lines before the 43rd line. Note 20 Though talking and writing are related, overlapping skills, 21 they differ in several respects.
TEDIT Topics Ranges What to Enter When you use line-range in the commands RENUMBER, REPLACE, SEARCH, and WRITE commands, you can enter it as follows: line-range ALL | A line [ / line ] [ # count ] REGION | R ALL is all lines of your file. line [ /line ] [ #count ] is one or more lines you indicate either by a number, alpha letter, or a symbol. You use the “/” slash to separate beginning and ending points of a range; for example, F/L or 12/200.
TEDIT Topics Ranges line-number is a line number between 0 and 99999.999 (for example, 23132.23, 131.002, and so forth). FIRST is the first line in your document. LAST is the last line in your document. TOP is the first line in your current window. BOTTOM is the last line in your current window. * is the line containing the cursor. offset is a whole number. count is a number greater than 0.
TEDIT Topics Ranges Examples: 1. To start searching at the line 10 lines beyond line number five and continue to the line 20 lines before the last line of the file, enter: Search for: the In lines: 5+10/L-20 In columns: 1:239 Options: 2. To start searching at line 23 and continue for 50 lines, enter: Search for: the In lines: 23#50 In columns: 1:239 Options: 3.
TEDIT Topics Ranges Column ranges allow special designations for referring to columns symbolically. You can use ranges and special column designators to limit the scope of some TEDIT commands. For example, for the REPLACE command, you can enter in the column field: *+30:RI-12 End 12 columns before the rightmost column on the screen (RI). For this exercise in ACCOUNTING 1A you will use just part of the tax table on the W-4 form for employees withholding allowances.
TEDIT Topics Ranges When you use column-range in the REPLACE and SEARCH commands, you can enter it as follows: column-range column [ : column ] is one or more columns that you indicate with numbers, alpha letters, or a symbol. You use the “:” colon to separate the beginning and ending points of the range, for example, F:20 or 12:200. The column on the left of the colon must be less than or equal to the column on the right.
TEDIT Topics Ranges FIRST is the first column of a line (1). LEFT is the leftmost column of the current window. RIGHT is the rightmost column of the current window. * is the column containing the cursor. Examples: 1. To start searching at the column that is five columns to the right of the cursor position and continue to the column immediately to the right of the last non-blank column in the line (which may not be visible), enter: Search for: the In lines: F/L In columns: *+5:E Options: 2.
TEDIT Topics Ranges How to Use For a description of how to use lines, columns, or ranges with the DISPLAYLINE, RENUMBER, REPLACE, SEARCH, and WRITE commands, refer to Section 3. Related Commands The following commands use lines or column ranges. DISPLAYLINE moves the cursor to a specified line and column. RENUMBER renumbers part of a document. REPLACE substitutes a replace text for a search text. SEARCH finds a search text in your file. WRITE writes a specified range of a document to a file.
TEDIT Topics REGION REGION Figure 2-4. The Concept of a REGION This is how to write a program that prints the values produced by the Fibonacci series that are less than 100, using the programming language called BASIC. The first two numbers are 1,1; all subsequent numbers are the sum of the preceding two numbers in the series. One end of a region This area is a region.
TEDIT Topics REGION A REGION is a text item that includes all the characters between the cursor and the region boundary created by the DEFINEREGION command as shown in Figure 2-5. Figure 2-5. A REGION Beyond Your Terminal Screen The cursor's position when you enter the DEFINEREGION command All text in this area is a region.
TEDIT Topics REGION What to Enter { REGION | REG } { ALIGN BACKWARD COPY DELETE ERASE FORWARD LOWERCASE MOVE UPPERCASE | | | | | | | | | AL BACKW COP DELE ERA FO LO MO UP | | | | | | | | } Examples: 1. To remove a region of text from your file and place a copy in the scratchpad, first define the region (with the DEFINEREGION command); then enter: Command: REGION MOVE 2.
TEDIT Topics REGION Tips The region boundary is a movable point in the file. Whenever you use a REGION command (other than FORWARD REGION and BACKWARD REGION), the region boundary is no longer defined. To place the region boundary in another position, enter DEFINEREGION again. As a text item, REGION can persist on the status line. (See “Persistent” in this section.) You can use REGION as a line range in the SEARCH and REPLACE commands. For a description of SEARCH and REPLACE, refer to Section 3.
TEDIT Topics REGION Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a REGION. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN REG adjusts the right margin of the region to the align width. BACKWARD REG moves the cursor to one end of the region. COPY REG duplicates the region to the scratchpad. DEFINEREGION places a boundary at one end of a region. DELETE REG removes the region from your file. ERASE REG replaces the text in a region with blanks.
TEDIT Topics Repeat Count Repeat Count A repeat count is either the number of times you can repeat an entire command line or the number of times you can repeat a command. You must enter a repeat count just before the command name. What to Enter n command n# command [ ;command ] n is a number between 1 and 32,767. n# is a number between 1 and 32,767; the # tells TEDIT to repeat all the commands on the line n times. Examples: 1. To move the text up on the screen six lines, enter: Command: 6 ROLLUP 2.
TEDIT Topics Repeat Count What Happens You can repeat many commands by typing a number immediately before the command. For example: Command: 3 ROLLDOWN; 3 BACKTAB Or, you can accomplish the same operation by entering: Command: 3#ROLLDOWN;BACKTAB TEDIT first rolls the text down three lines and then tabs back three tab stops. When you use the repeat count with a text command and a text item, you can type them together on the same command line.
TEDIT Topics Repeat Count Note If you press *C and type the repeat count on the command line, and then press the function key for DELETE and the function key for LINE, TEDIT sees this as: This is the same as if you pressed F2 four times and then pressed F5 . One line is deleted. Command: 4 DELETE; LINE TEDIT considers each command assigned to a function key as a complete command.
TEDIT Topics Scratchpad Scratchpad The scratchpad is a temporary holding area for text that you are copying or moving. How to Use Both the COPY and MOVE command place text items in the scratchpad. To move the contents of the scratchpad to another location, place the cursor at a new location and enter the RETRIEVE command. To place this text in another file that isn’t open or to print it on a printer, you must use the WRITE command.
TEDIT Topics Scratchpad Tips As you use MOVE and COPY, TEDIT adds text to the scratchpad.Once you retrieve text using the RETRIEVE command and then use the COPY or MOVE command, TEDIT replaces all existing text in the scratchpad. For example, this is how a sequence of commands affects the scratchpad: a. COPY LINE adds a line to scratchpad. b. COPY REGION adds a region to scratchpad. c. RETRIEVE copies scratchpad contents to your file. d. RETRIEVE copies same contents to your file. e.
TEDIT Topics SECTION SECTION Figure 2-6. The Concept of a SECTION The Evolution of Printing Printing is something which can be seen, perceived with our eyes, and reproduced in quantity. Regardless of the many possible differences, all printed products have one thing in common: the result is always a quantity of the same visible image. A section \new Man's earliest known attempts at visual records of his life and times dates back 30,000 years.
TEDIT Topics SECTION SECTION is a text item that includes all characters from the cursor to either the section marker or the end of the file (whichever comes first). In Figure 2-7, for example a section extends beyond what you can see on the terminal screen. Figure 2-7. A SECTION Beyond Your Terminal Screen The Evolution of Printing A section marker and the cursor position A section Printing is something which can be seen, perceived with our \new eyes, and reproduced in quantity.
TEDIT Topics SECTION What to Enter [ repeat-count ]{ SECTION | SEC }{ ALIGN BACKWARD COPY DELETE ERASE FORWARD INSERT LOWERCASE MOVE UPPERCASE | | | | | | | | | | AL BACKW COP DELE ERA FO INSE LO MO UP | | | | | | | | | } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this text item. See “Repeat Count” in this section for details. Examples: 1. To move a copy of an entire section into the scratchpad, place the cursor at the beginning of the section; then enter: Command: SECTION COPY 2.
TEDIT Topics SECTION What Happens TEDIT carries out an action on a section using a text command starting at the cursor’s position and ending just before the section marker. TEDIT looks up the section marker in the profile and searches in the first column of the file for its occurrence. Tips Section markers only begin in column 1 of a line. The end of a section is either the end of the file or the next section marker. The default section marker setting is \NEW.
TEDIT Topics SECTION FORWARD SEC moves the cursor to the start of the next section. INSERT SEC places a section marker on line above cursor. LOWERCASE SEC changes uppercase letters to lowercase from the cursor to end of the section. MOVE SEC transfers text to the scratchpad, from cursor to end of section. RECONFIGURE OPTIONS lets you view and change the section marker setting. UPPERCASE SEC changes lowercase letters to uppercase, from the cursor to the end of the section.
TEDIT Topics SENTENCE SENTENCE SENTENCE is a text item that includes all the characters from the cursor to a sentence stop followed by a blank or an EOL. For example: Cursor position A sentence TThis is a sentence...with a...sentence...stop...and...some other strange punctuation! A sentence stop A sentence stop Cursor position This is a sentence that TEDIT s sees as very short.
TEDIT Topics SENTENCE Examples: 1. To adjust the width of the text in a sentence, place the cursor at the beginning of the sentence; then enter: Command: ALIGN SENTENCE 2. To break a line at the cursor and move text to the next line, enter: Command: SENTENCE INSERT What Happens TEDIT checks the text against the list of sentence stops in the profile and then acts on all the text from the cursor up to and including the sentence stop. Tips TEDIT uses the sentence stops in the current profile.
TEDIT Topics SENTENCE Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a SENTENCE. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN SEN adjusts the right margins of all lines within the sentence. BACKWARD SEN moves the cursor to the beginning of the sentence. COPY SEN duplicates all characters to the scratchpad, from the cursor to the end of sentence. DELETE SEN removes the sentence from cursor to the end of the sentence.
TEDIT Topics Status Line Status Line The status line appears at the bottom of every window and displays a message from TEDIT. For example, the status line gives you information about the file you are editing. What Happens The information displayed on the status line is either: An editing status line that includes the name of the file you are editing and the line and column numbers that you are currently viewing.
TEDIT Topics Status Line A message status line with which TEDIT often temporarily replaces the edit status line. There are four types of messages: a. Command messages are simply the name of text command or text item that you have just entered. For example, you would see: 1) insert after entering INSERT. b. Status messages tell you that TEDIT is doing something or was unable to do something (like searching for a search-text that doesn’t exist).
TEDIT Topics Status Line c. 1) Advice messages tell you what to do to correct an error in a command or that some part of TEDIT is not functioning. For example, you’ll see: Type correct command name if you gave an unknown or misspelled command. d. Page messages tell you what page you are viewing in a help text or special screen (like the one in RECONFIGURE OPTIONS).
TEDIT Topics WINDOW WINDOW The term window represents two concepts in TEDIT: 1) window, in Figure 2-8, is used as a way of opening and viewing a part or all of your file; and 2) WINDOW, in Figure 2-9, is used as a text item defining a part of the text in your file. Figure 2-8.
TEDIT Topics WINDOW Figure 2-9. The Concept of WINDOW as a Text Item o When you tell TEDIT to align lines that contain sentence stops, TEDIT places two spaces betwe sentence stop and the next nonsentence stop character. The default sentence stops are: ! . ? can use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these settings. o As a text command, ALIGN can persist on the status line. o ALIGN doesn't right justify text. The right margin may be ragged.
TEDIT Topics WINDOW Screen Window as a View of Your Text Window is all or part of a screen (from one line to the full screen) that displays a file you are editing. This screen window is generally 79 columns wide. In Figure 2-10, for example: Figure 2-10. Your File and a Window (View) Your file may be not only longer but wider than what can fit into the window.
TEDIT Topics WINDOW The last line in a window is the status line. With TEDIT, you can work in one or two windows, which can display text from the same file or from different files. Figure 2-11 shows two windows into one file and Figure 2-12 shows two windows in two different files. Figure 2-11. Two Windows and One File Your file TEDIT Publication Plan AUDIENCE This manual is directed to the routine user (business professional and programmer) of TEDIT access to advanced information about the product.

TEDIT Topics WINDOW Each window can display all 239 columns of text if you use LEFTSCROLL or RIGHTSCROLL. The following window commands act on screen windows: CLOSEWINDOW removes one window and closes its file. ONEWINDOW hides one of two windows. OPENWINDOW creates a second window or replaces a file in an already open window. SIZEWINDOW changes the length of one or both windows. SWITCHWINDOW displays a hidden window or moves cursor to the other window. TWOWINDOWS makes two windows visible.
TEDIT Topics WINDOW WINDOW as a Text Item A text item is all text starting at the cursor’s location to the end of the line just above the status line, including text in columns 1 through 239. All the text in a line is not always visible on the screen, but it is part of the WINDOW text item. For example, Figure 2-13 shows all WINDOW text visible; Figure 2-14 shows a WINDOW text that is not entirely visible on your terminal screen. Figure 2-13.

TEDIT Topics WINDOW As a text item, WINDOW is used with the text commands as follows. What to Enter { WINDOW | WI } { ALIGN BACKWARD COPY DELETE ERASE FORWARD INSERT LOWERCASE MOVE UPPERCASE | | | | | | | | | | AL BACKW COP DELE ERA FO INSE LO MO UP | | | | | | | | | } Examples: 1. To adjust the right margin of a WINDOW of text to the align width, from the cursor to the status line, enter: Command: ALIGN WINDOW 2.
TEDIT Topics WINDOW Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a WINDOW. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. ALIGN WI adjusts the right margin to the align width, from the cursor to the status line. BACKWARD WI positions the line containing the cursor on the last line of a window. COPY WI duplicates text to the scratchpad, from the cursor to the status line of a window. DELETE WI removes text from the cursor to the status line of a window.
TEDIT Topics WORD WORD WORD is a text item consisting of one or more characters. This item begins at the cursor position and ends at a word stop or the end of a line. For example: This sentence s contains (several) words which continue to the Here the end of the word is indicated by a blank. This sentence contains (several) e words which continue to the Here the end of the word is indicated by a word stop.
TEDIT Topics WORD What to Enter [ repeat-count ] { WORD | WO } { BACKWARD COPY DELETE ERASE FORWARD INSERT LOWERCASE MOVE UPPERCASE | | | | | | | | | BACKW COP DELE ERA FO INSE LO MO UP } | | | | | | | | repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in this section for details. Examples: 1. To remove the characters from the cursor to the end of a word, enter: Command: DELETE WORD 2.
TEDIT Topics WORD Tips Enter INSERT WORD to add a frequently used word or phrase to your text, starting at the cursor position. If you are going to use this insertphase in other editing sessions, save the profile with SAVEPROFILE. TEDIT uses the insert-phrase and the word stops of the current profile. The default insert-phrase is five blanks, and the default word stop settings are: ! " # $ & ( ) * + , .
TEDIT Topics WORD Related Commands The following commands perform some action on a WORD. These commands and their actions are fully described in Section 3. BACKWARD WO moves the cursor to the start of the word. COPY WO duplicates the characters to the scratchpad, from the cursor to the end of the word. DELETE WO removes the characters, from the cursor to the end of the word. ERASE WO replaces characters with blanks, from the cursor to the end of the word.
3 TEDIT Commands There are several different types of commands in TEDIT that you can use to create and modify documents. Table 3-1 lists all these commands arranged by tasks and Table 3-2 lists TEDIT commands and text items. Table 3-1.
TEDIT Commands Table 3-2. TEDIT Commands and Text Items Note TEDIT Commands Text Items ALIGN BACKWARD COPY DELETE ERASE FORWARD INSERT LOWERCASE MOVE UPPERCASE BALANCED-EXPRESSION CHARACTER END-OF-LINE (EOL) LINE PARAGRAPH REGION SECTION SENTENCE WINDOW WORD Always use a text command with a text item. You can assign combinations of text commands and text items to function keys. For example, you can assign ALIGN LINE a function key.
TEDIT Commands *C *C You press the *C function key to enter any of the TEDIT commands on a response line. For the *C command only, this response line is called the command line. What to Enter When you press the *C function key, TEDIT displays the command line at the top of your window. You can then either type a command to perform some action, or you can type HELP. The command line looks like this: Command: How to Use Commands not Assigned to Function Keys.
TEDIT Commands *C Commands Needing More Information. You can enter each of these commands with a function key, or you can type them on the command line. additional information by showing a response line at the top of the window. Here is a list of the commands that have response lines: CLOSEWINDOW DISPLAYLINE GOTOPOSITION HELP MARKPOSITION OPENWINDOW PURGEPROFILE RECONFIGURE RENUMBER For example: You enter this. Command: SIZEWINDOW TEDIT prompts you for more information with a response line.
TEDIT Commands *C Or, with all these commands, you can enter the additional information on the command line, thus bypassing the response line. For example: Command: SIZEWINDOW 3 Multiple Commands. You can specify multiple commands on the command line. You must separate adjacent commands with a semicolon. For example: Command: DEFINEREGION; DISPLAYLINE *; FORWARD EOL; COPY REGION Tips You can give a repeat count with most commands. A repeat count tells TEDIT how many times to repeat a command.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN ALIGN ALIGN adjusts the right margin of your text so that the text on each line is less than or equal to the align width (the default is 70 columns) in your profile. What to Enter { ALIGN | A } { REGION | REG | WINDOW | WI } [ repeat-count ] { ALIGN | A } { LINE PARAGRAPH SENTENCE SECTION | | | | LI | PA | SEN | SEC } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details. Examples: 1.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN How to Use First place the cursor within the text item that you want to align. Then enter the ALIGN command with one of the preceding text items (for example, PARAGRAPH). What Happens If there is any part of a word beyond the align width, TEDIT moves that word to either a new line or the beginning of the next line. If there is no room on the next line for additional characters, TEDIT shifts text to the next line until all lines are less than or equal to the align width.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN TEDIT neither aligns any line that begins with a format stop (such as !, \, @, /, #) in column 1 nor adds text from the previous line into this line. You can use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to delete or add characters to the format stop list. If there is a format stop character within a line, TEDIT will not move it into column 1 when aligning text.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN ALIGN and Text Items ALIGN performs the following actions on TEDIT text items. ALIGN LINE ALIGN LINE adjusts the right margin of a line so that it is less than or equal to the align width. How to Use. Place the cursor anywhere in a line. Then enter ALIGN LINE. What Happens. If a line is wider than the align width, TEDIT moves words to the next line until the line is equal to or less than the align width.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN What Happens. You position the cursor somewhere in your text and enter the DEFINEREGION command. This region boundary defines one end of the region. To define the other end of the region, place the cursor anywhere in your text. When you enter the ALIGN REGION command, TEDIT aligns the text between the region boundary and the cursor. Tips. You can check to see if the region is where you want by using the FORWARD or BACKWARD REGION commands. Related Commands.
TEDIT Commands ALIGN ALIGN SENTENCE ALIGN SENTENCE adjusts the right margin of a sentence so that each line is less than or equal to the align width. The sentence being adjusted includes all text from the cursor to the end of the sentence. How to Use. First place the cursor at the position in the sentence where you want the alignment to begin. Then enter ALIGN SENTENCE. What Happens.
TEDIT Commands BACKTAB BACKTAB BACKTAB moves the cursor left, to the preceding tab stop. What to Enter [ repeat-count ] { BACKTAB | BACKT } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details. Examples: 1. To move the cursor to the preceding tab stop, enter: Command: BACKTAB 2. To move the cursor back three tab stops, enter: Command: 3 BACKTAB How to Use You can use this command in two ways: 3–12 1.
TEDIT Commands BACKTAB What Happens The cursor moves to the preceding tab stop. If you can’t see the next tab stop on your screen, TEDIT moves the text to the right so you can see both the cursor and the tab stops. To move the text to the left, press the RETURN key (or ENTER) or use the RIGHTSCROLL command. Tips BACKTAB uses the tab stop settings in the current profile. The default tab stop settings are every 8 columns (9, 17, 25, 33, ... up to 81). Use RECONFIGURE OPTIONS to change these settings.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD BACKWARD BACKWARD moves the cursor either to the beginning of the text item containing the cursor or to the beginning of the preceding text item used with this command. What to Enter { BACKWARD | BACKW } { BALANCED-EXPRESSION | BAL | REGION | REG | WINDOW | WI } [ repeat-count ]{ BACKWARD | BACKW }{ CHARACTER | END-OF-LINE| LINE | PARAGRAPH | SECTION | SENTENCE | WORD | CH | EOL | LI | PA | SEC | SEN | WO } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD How to Use Enter the BACKWARD command and the text item to move the cursor back to the beginning of the specified text item. If the cursor is positioned at the beginning of a text item, then it moves to the beginning of the previous text item. What Happens If you cannot see the text item on your screen, TEDIT moves the text (down, right, or left) so you can see both the cursor and the text item.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD BACKWARD and Text Items BACKWARD performs the following actions on TEDIT text items. BACKWARD BALANCED-EXPRESSION BACKWARD BALANCED-EXPRESSION moves the cursor to the left or upward until it finds a balanced-expression delimiter. How to Use. Enter BACKWARD BALANCED-EXPRESSION to move the cursor to a balanced-expression close or open delimiter. What Happens.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD BACKWARD EOL BACKWARD EOL moves the cursor either to the end of the preceding line or to the end of the line on which the cursor is positioned. How to Use. First place the cursor anywhere in the line. Then enter BACKWARD EOL to move the cursor to the end of the preceding line. What Happens. If the cursor is positioned beyond the end of the line, then the cursor moves to the end of the same line.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD Tips. If the cursor is already positioned at the start of the paragraph, then it moves to the beginning of the preceding paragraph. Related Commands. FORWARD PARAGRAPH. BACKWARD REGION BACKWARD REGION moves the cursor to the other end of a region. How to Use. First identify one end of a region with the DEFINEREGION command. Next move the cursor to the other end of the region. Then enter BACKWARD REGION.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD BACKWARD SENTENCE BACKWARD SENTENCE moves the cursor either to the start of the sentence in which the cursor is positioned or to the start of the preceding sentence. How to Use. Enter the BACKWARD SENTENCE command to move the cursor to the beginning of a sentence. What Happens. If the cursor is already positioned at the start of the sentence, the cursor moves to the start of the previous sentence.
TEDIT Commands BACKWARD BACKWARD WORD BACKWARD WORD moves the cursor to the first character of either the word on which the cursor is positioned or the previous word. How to Use. Enter the BACKWARD WORD command to move the cursor to the beginning of a word. What Happens. If the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the word, TEDIT moves the cursor to the first character of the previous word. Tips. A blank or certain characters (called word stops) define the end of a word.
TEDIT Commands BREAKLINE BREAKLINE BREAKLINE divides a line into two parts or inserts a new blank line. What to Enter { BREAKLINE | BR } How to Use To break a line, place the cursor at the position you want the line broken and enter the BREAKLINE command. The cursor doesn’t move. The first part of the line (left of the cursor) remains where it is. The part of the line to the right of the cursor moves to the next line, keeping your left margin intact.
TEDIT Commands BREAKLINE For files that are open so you can only read them, TEDIT interprets BREAKLINE as NEWLINE, positioning the cursor in column 1 on the following line. Tips If the cursor is at column 1 of a blank line, a blank line is inserted. Then the cursor moves to column 1 of the new blank line. Related Commands INSERT EOL breaks a line at the cursor position. INSLINE adds a blank line above the cursor (not persistent).
TEDIT Commands CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL ignores the last response line change, text item, or text command that you entered. What to Enter { CANCEL | CA } How to Use From a response line or a RECONFIGURE screen, press the CANCEL function key before pressing the *C function key. If CANCEL is not assigned to a function key and you do not enter the additional information on the response line or change any of the reconfigure items, then TEDIT cancels the action and prompts you with a message on the status line.
TEDIT Commands CANCEL Tips If CANCEL is assigned to a function key, use it to cancel these items: Commands that asks you for additional information with response lines, such as SEARCH and REPLACE. A command that you type on the command line. A persistent text command or text item. A status line message. If CANCEL is not assigned to a function key, you will need to press the *C key, type CANCEL on the command line, and then press the *C key again (or any function key other than CANCEL).
TEDIT Commands CLOSEWINDOW CLOSEWINDOW CLOSEWINDOW closes one of two open windows. What to Enter { CLOSEWINDOW | CL } { 1 | 2 | * | ** } 1 | 2 is the number of the window you want to close. * is the window in which the cursor is positioned. ** is the window in which the cursor is not positioned. Examples: 1. To close window 2, enter: Command: CLOSEWINDOW 2 2.
TEDIT Commands CLOSEWINDOW How to Use If you enter the command alone, TEDIT asks for the window to close with this response line: Close window: Respond with 1, 2, *, or **. What Happens If the EXIT confirmation is set ON (the default), TEDIT asks you for confirmation with this response line: Do you really want to close the window? Respond Y or N: If you answer YES, TEDIT closes the window. If you answer NO, TEDIT ignores the command.
TEDIT Commands CLOSEWINDOW If you have two windows open and visible on the screen, there is a status line for each. Set the EXIT confirmation to ON or OFF with the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command. The CLOSEWINDOW command only closes one window when two are open. You can close the current window (the window in which the cursor is positioned) by giving an asterisk (*) after the CLOSEWINDOW command.
TEDIT Commands COMPRESS COMPRESS COMPRESS reduces the storage (disc) space that your file occupies. This reduction alters neither the text nor the line numbers in your file. What to Enter { COMPRESS | COM } How to Use First place the cursor in the window of the file you want to compress. Then enter the COMPRESS command. What Happens COMPRESS acts on the entire file displayed in the window in which the cursor is positioned.
TEDIT Commands COPY COPY COPY duplicates a text item to the scratchpad. What to Enter { COPY | COP } { BALANCED-EXPRESSION | BAL | REGION | REG | WINDOW | WI } [ repeat-count ] { COPY | COP } { CHARACTER END-OF-LINE LINE PARAGRAPH SECTION SENTENCE WORD | | | | | | | CH | EOL | LI | PA | SEC | SEN | WO } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details. Examples: 1. To duplicate a paragraph to the scratchpad, enter: Command: COPY PARAGRAPH 2.
TEDIT Commands COPY How to Use First place the cursor on the text item that you want to copy; then enter the COPY command with one of the text items (for example, COPY SENTENCE). To place this text into another window (either opened to the same file or to another file), place the cursor at a new location and enter the RETRIEVE command.
TEDIT Commands COPY When you use COPY and a repeat count with a CHARACTER, EOL, LINE, PARAGRAPH, SECTION, or WORD, TEDIT sees these text items as a region (see Section 2 for a description of a region). Therefore, when you copy these text items to the scratchpad, all line boundaries are retained. For a repeat count with COPY SENTENCE, the line boundary is retained only when it overlaps more than one line. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details about the repeat count.
TEDIT Commands COPY Tips. COPY uses the balanced-expression delimiters in the current profile. The default balanced-expression delimiter settings are ( ) [ ] { } “ ” < >. Use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these settings. Related Commands. RECONFIGURE OPTIONS. COPY CHARACTER COPY CHARACTER duplicates the character on which the cursor is positioned to the scratchpad. How to Use. First place the cursor on the character you want to copy. Then enter COPY CHARACTER.

TEDIT Commands SHOWNUMBER How to Use Either type SHOWNUMBER alone on the command line or type SHOWNUMBER ON or OFF on the command line. What Happens SHOWNUMBER alone places this message on the status line: 1) Number of current line: 3.1 SHOWNUMBER ON or OFF lists or erases the column of line numbers at the left edge of the screen. TEDIT shifts the text ten columns to the right to accommodate the line numbers.
TEDIT Commands SHOWNUMBER The text in your file after SHOWNUMBER ON: This is what your screen looks like with SHOWNUMBER ON. The text is shifted right. 1 Date: January 13, 1986 3 4 To Whom It May Concern: 5 6 7 This is a memo concerning what your screen looks like before you a 8 TEDIT to display the line numbers in a file. When you ask TEDIT t 9 the line numbers in your file, the text is shifted to the right 10 10 columns. 11 12 The next screen shows this.
TEDIT Commands SIZEWINDOW SIZEWINDOW SIZEWINDOW changes the number of lines displayed in two screen windows by changing the height of the window containing the cursor. What to Enter { SIZEWINDOW | SI } size size is a whole number (positive, unsigned, or negative). Examples: 1. To change the size of the screen window to four lines, enter: Command: SIZEWINDOW 4 (TEDIT changes the window where the cursor is positioned.) 2.
TEDIT Commands SIZEWINDOW How to Use You can open two windows; either one or two can be visible. First place the cursor in the window whose size you want to change. Then enter the SIZEWINDOW command.
TEDIT Commands SIZEWINDOW Related Commands CLOSEWINDOW terminates one window and closes its file. ONEWINDOW hides one of two open windows (same as SIZEWINDOW 0). OPENWINDOW creates a second window. SWITCHWINDOW displays the hidden window or moves the cursor to other window. TWOWINDOWS makes both windows visible.
TEDIT Commands SWITCHWINDOW SWITCHWINDOW SWITCHWINDOW displays the hidden window on your screen when only one window is visible, or it moves the cursor from one screen window to the other when two are visible. What to Enter { SWITCHWINDOW | SW } How to Use If one window fills the screen, SWITCHWINDOW displays the other window in its place. If the screen shows both windows, the cursor moves from one to the other. Tips This command refers to the screen window, not to the text item (WINDOW).
TEDIT Commands TAB TAB TAB moves the cursor one tab stop to the right. What to Enter [ repeat-count ] { TAB | TA } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details. Examples: 1. To move the cursor one tab stop to the left, enter: Command: TAB 2. To move the cursor three tab stops to the left, use a repeat count; then enter: Command: 3 TAB How to Use You can use this command in two ways: 3–194 1.
TEDIT Commands TAB What Happens The cursor moves to the next tab stop. If you can’t see the next tab stop on your screen, TEDIT moves the text to the left so you can see both the cursor and the tab stop. Tips TAB uses the default tab stop settings of the current profile. The default settings are every 8 columns (9, 17, 25, 33, and so on). Use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these settings. You can set up to 20 tab stops in ascending order.
TEDIT Commands TWOWINDOWS TWOWINDOWS TWOWINDOWS displays both windows 1 and 2 on the screen. What to Enter { TWOWINDOWS | TW } [ size ] size is the number of lines (less than a full screen) for the second window. Examples: 1. To display both windows, each on half the screen, enter: Command: TWOWINDOWS 2.
TEDIT Commands TWOWINDOWS Tips This command refers to the screen window, not the text item (WINDOW). See Section 2 for a description of a window. A status line appears for each window. The size of a window cannot exceed the number of lines that can fit in your screen window. Related Commands CLOSEWINDOW terminates a window and closes the file. ONEWINDOW hides one of two windows. OPENWINDOW creates a second window. SIZEWINDOW changes the number of lines contained in one of two windows.
TEDIT Commands UNDO UNDO UNDO reverses the last command or action that altered text, and then returns the text to its previous condition. What to Enter [ repeat-count ] { UNDO | UND } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command. See “Repeat Count” in Section 2 for details. Examples: 1. To reverse the last change to text, enter: Command: UNDO 2.
TEDIT Commands UNDO Tips With the UNDO command you can erase text entered or changed with keyboard keys as well as some function keys. UNDO does not affect the following commands because they do not alter text: Cursor moving commands like TAB, FORWARD, DISPLAYLINE or SEARCH. Scrolling commands like NEXTPAGE or LEFTSCROLL. Commands that affect text in the scratchpad or another file like COPY or WRITE (but UNDO does act on RETRIEVE). Window commands like OPENWINDOW or SWITCHWINDOW.
TEDIT Commands UNMARKPOSITION UNMARKPOSITION UNMARKPOSITION deletes a position number previously marked with the MARKPOSITION command. What to Enter { UNMARKPOSITION | UNM } position-number [ /position-number ] position-number is a number or range. The number can be from 0 to 99. The range can be *[+n|–n] or ALL. The n can be 1 to 99 or –1 to –98. To indicate a range, you must include the forward slash; for example, 2/10. Examples: 1.
TEDIT Commands UNMARKPOSITION Following this response line, you will also see a list of your existing position numbers if you have positions marked in your file. This list includes the position number, line number, and the text in the line. For example: Position Number: 1 20. \set box on * 2 29. number with this response line: 5 313. \set box on 8 400.01 all others.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE UPPERCASE UPPERCASE changes all lowercase alphabetic letters in a text item to uppercase, from the cursor to the end of the text item (except for the text item, LINE). What to Enter { UPPERCASE | UP } { BALANCED-EXPRESSION | BAL | REGION | REG | WINDOW | WI } [ repeat-count ]{ UPPERCASE | UP }{ CHARACTER END-OF-LINE LINE PARAGRAPH SECTION SENTENCE WORD | | | | | | | CH | EOL | LI | PA | SEC | SEN | WO } repeat-count is the number of times to repeat this command.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE 3. To change all letters to uppercase in a line, place the cursor anywhere in the line and enter: Command: UPPERCASE LINE 4. To change the first character of a word to uppercase and leave the remaining word in lowercase, enter: Command: UPPERCASE CHARACTER; LOWERCASE WORD The UPPERCASE CHARACTER command changes the letter on which the cursor is positioned to uppercase and then moves the cursor to the next letter.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE Because a file’s maximum width is 239 characters, some of the text in a text item you are changing to uppercase may extend beyond the viewing area of the terminal. As a text command, UPPERCASE can persist on the status line. Related Commands LOWERCASE changes all uppercase characters in a text item to lowercase. UPPERCASE and Text Items UPPERCASE performs the following actions on TEDIT text items.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE UPPERCASE CHARACTER UPPERCASE CHARACTER changes the letter on which the cursor is positioned to uppercase. How to Use. First place the cursor on the character you want to change to uppercase. Then enter UPPERCASE CHARACTER. Related Commands. LOWERCASE CHARACTER. UPPERCASE EOL UPPERCASE EOL changes lowercase letters to uppercase, from the cursor position through the end of the line. How to Use.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE UPPERCASE REGION UPPERCASE REGION changes all lowercase letters in a region to uppercase. This region includes all letters between the cursor and the region boundary, created with the DEFINEREGION command. How to Use. First identify one end of a region with the DEFINEREGION command. Next move the cursor to the other end of the region. Then enter UPPERCASE REGION. Tips. See Section 2 for a description of a region. Related Commands. LOWERCASE REGION and DEFINEREGION.
TEDIT Commands UPPERCASE Tips. TEDIT defines a sentence as a group of words that ends with a sentence stop. UPPERCASE uses the sentence stop settings of the current profile. The default sentence stops are ! . ?. Use the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these settings. Related Commands. LOWERCASE SENTENCE and RECONFIGURE OPTIONS. UPPERCASE WINDOW UPPERCASE WINDOW changes all lowercase letters to uppercase, from the cursor to the status line of a window. How to Use.
TEDIT Commands USEPROFILE USEPROFILE USEPROFILE lets you select a profile containing an alternative to the default option and function key settings. What to Enter { USEPROFILE | US } profile-name [ , profile-file | * ] profile-name is the name of the profile you want to use in this editing session. profile-file is a file where a list of profiles can be found. This file has a file code of 115. * Is your default profile file. Examples: 1.
TEDIT Commands USEPROFILE What Happens If you enter USEPROFILE either alone or with only the profile file, TEDIT asks for the name with this response line: Profile Name: Note Profile File: $MYVOL.MYSUB.TEDPROFL A profile name consists of eight alphabetic letters or numbers; the first letter must be alphabetic. For example: CASH, M82550, and TPROFILE. After “Profile File:” the default profile file appears. Following the response line, you will also see a list of your existing profiles.
TEDIT Commands USEPROFILE Tips You can view a list of all the profiles of another profile file or your current profile file by giving the PURGEPROFILE, SAVEPROFILE, or USEPROFILE command alone on the command line. Every time you start a session with TEDIT, it uses the * (default) profile. You can change the default profile with SAVEPROFILE. You can have specific profiles for the type of editing you are doing.
TEDIT Commands WRITE WRITE WRITE either copies text from one file to another file or sends a file to a printer. Optionally, you can write position numbers that you have marked with MARKPOSITION to a file.
TEDIT Commands WRITE 3. To write the contents of the scratchpad to the file NEWFILE, enter: Command: WRITE SCRATCHPAD, NEWFILE 4. To save all the marked positions for this file in a file named POSFILE, enter: Command: WRITE POSITIONS, POSFILE How to Use When you give the WRITE command alone, TEDIT presents this response line. Write from: ALL to file: The WRITE command needs this information: In the “Write from:” field, supply a line-range.
TEDIT Commands WRITE In the “to file:” field, supply a file name or printer name. An example of a file name and a printer name: MYFILE $S.#LPBAND — File name — Printer name What Happens If you write text to a new file, TEDIT asks if you want to create the file. If you write text to an existing file, TEDIT adds this written text to the end of the existing file. TEDIT numbers this written text beginning with the next whole number after the end of the file, with an increment of one.
TEDIT Commands WRITE If you write text to an existing file, the new text is added to the end of the existing text. If you write text to a printer, the copy contains line numbers if you see them on your screen. SHOWNUMBER ON gives you line numbers when you print the file; SHOWNUMBER OFF does not. After you enter the WRITE command and see the response line, you can press the HELP key once to see a short help text and twice to see the complete help text.

Appendix E Overview Important TEDIT and TACL Interface This appendix explains the TEDIT commands and TACL commands used in TACL code that allow you to communicate with TEDIT. This appendix also explains the TEDIT and TACL communications protocol. Before you try to use any of the following commands, you should thoroughly understand how to use TACL and know how to write TACL macros. Refer to the TACL Programmer’s Guide for information about writing TACL macros.
TEDIT and TACL Interface PARAM TACLNAME Starts a TEDIT NOWAITed with a STATUS variable Loops, handling the #SERVER’s variables, until the STATUS variable indicates that TEDIT has terminated. The code (a macro or routine) then cleans up its variables and exits. Commands sent from TEDIT to TACL are #EXTRACT(V)ed from the #SERVER’s OUT variable. Commands sent from TACL to TEDIT are #APPEND(V)ed to the #SERVER’s IN variable. For each command sent to TACL, TEDIT waits.
TEDIT and TACL Interface TEDIT and TACL Interface Commands TEDIT and TACL You can use these four TEDIT commands to pass information to and from Interface Commands TACL and TEDIT: MACRO, PROMPT, STATUSMESSAGE, and TACL. The MACRO and TACL commands are given at the TEDIT prompt. You usually give the PROMPT and STATUSMESSAGE commands to TEDIT from the TACL code. In the following paragraphs, these commands are described and listed in alphabetical order.
TEDIT and TACL Interface TEDIT and TACL Interface Commands Protocol When TEDIT sends a message to the TACL code requesting a response, a simple protocol is used. The TACL code decodes the protocol for information that describes the current state of the TEDIT process.
TEDIT and TACL Interface TEDIT and TACL Interface Commands Table E-1. TEDIT and TACL Protocol Message Definitions Field Definition dvol is the default subvolume in external form. For example: [\sys.]$vol.subvol is the screen height (measured in the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen). is the screen width (measured in the number of columns that can be displayed on the screen). is the status line width (measured in the number of columns). is the file name in external format.
TEDIT and TACL Interface PROMPT PROMPT The PROMPT command is used by the TACL code to create a prompt. So, while you are in a TEDIT session, you might be prompted for information, or you can enter responses to a prompt to get information. Note The PROMPT command can only be given from the TACL code, not from a TEDIT prompt. What to Enter { PROMPT | PRO} { TEXT | HELP} ‚text [ ‚rlen [ ‚rdef ] ] CLEAR TEXT adds another (text field) prompt. Each prompt can contain 99 text fields.
TEDIT and TACL Interface PROMPT rdef is a reply default. The default is none. This field can contain any character. How to Use To create the prompt for the align width, you enter the following information: The text PROMPT TEXT ,Align Width: ,4 ,70 Reply length Reply default length You can prompt for any information. You can use PROMPT in different forms to get a variety of different information. The following paragraphs discuss these different forms.
TEDIT and TACL Interface PROMPT For example, the second time you give the prompt command, you just enter: PROMPT After you respond to the prompt, TEDIT sends the TACL code the following information in line 5 of the protocol: 5 0 text on the 5 1 answer from 5 2 answer from . . . 5 n answer from key named Fx prompt #1 prompt #2 prompt #n Fx refers to any named function key within TEDIT. The text assigned to the key is sent to the TACL code.
TEDIT and TACL Interface PROMPT The first field begins in column one; the limit is 99 fields. When you use PROMPT in this form: PROMPT HELP, text,,rdef The text specified is used to build short help. The rdef consists of extensive help about a topic. This default is used when you press the HELP key twice, which gives you extensive help about a topic. The message “Press the HELP key again for more help” is displayed in all TEDIT short help and is added to any short help you create when specifying rdef.
TEDIT and TACL Interface STATUSMESSAGE STATUSMESSAGE The STATUSMESSAGE command displays messages on the status line of the current window. You can enter this command at either the TEDIT or the TACL prompt. What to Enter { STATUSMESSAGE | ST } status-message status-message is a string of characters containing your message. These messages cannot be longer than the stwidth (status line width) sent in line 1 of the protocol. Any message longer than the status line is truncated.
TEDIT and TACL Interface TACL TACL You enter the TACL command at the TEDIT prompt. This command allows the TACL code to control the terminal. When TACL has completed its processing, you are prompted with this message: Press RETURN or ENTER to resume editing: After you press either RETURN or ENTER, TEDIT regains control of the terminal. What to Enter { TACL | TAC } tacl-command-line tacl-command-line is the command to be sent to the TACL code to execute.
Appendix F TEDIT Advice Messages The TEDIT advice messages are in alphabetical order. In most cases, TEDIT responds to a command error by ignoring the command and displaying a message on the status line. TEDIT then waits for another command or new information (for example, a correct file name). There are some messages that appear on the status line and on the terminal screen with just the error number and no text. These messages look like one of the following: This is a system error.
TEDIT Advice Messages 086 Can't find specified section name in obey file. You specified a section name in the OBEY command that is not in your obey file. Check your section names in your obey file, then reenter the command. 065 Can't insert more lines here. (Auto Renumber is OFF) You tried to insert too many lines at this position with the INSERT, INSLINE, or RETRIEVE commands. For example, when Auto Renumber is OFF, you can only insert three lines with INSLINE without moving the cursor.
TEDIT Advice Messages 076 Complete the set of quotation marks You did not complete the required set of quotation marks in insert-phrase or in SEARCH or REPLACE texts. Re-enter the necessary quotes and try the command again. 091 COMPRESS failed, but file is unaffected COMPRESS failed but text in the current window is safe. Check to see if you have purge access for the file and try COMPRESS again. 090 COMPRESS failed. Save with WRITE WINDOW Your attempt to COMPRESS the text in the current file failed.
TEDIT Advice Messages 109 Enter either OPTIONS or FUNCTION-KEYS after RECONFIGURE You entered incorrect information after RECONFIGURE. The RECONFIGURE command accepts only OPTIONS or FUNCTION-KEYS. 051 Enter Open and Close for Bal-Expr You forgot to enter in the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen the Open or Close for this balanced expression. Enter both the Open and Close for each balanced expression. 049 Enter Tab Stops in increasing order You listed at least two tab stops in decreasing numerical order.
TEDIT Advice Messages 018 First enter text for SEARCH or REPLACE You gave the SEARCH or REPLACE commands but failed to supply the search-text. Also, you could have used the FINDPREV or FINDNEXT commands without a preceding SEARCH or REPLACE command. Supply the search-text for SEARCH or REPLACE. 020 Give only one line number for DISPLAYLINE You tried to give DISPLAYLINE a range of lines.
