Editors...
This command is used to create and maintain the editor
extension file, which associates different editors with file
extensions. This feature allows you to use different editors
to edit files with different extensions.
Lines in the VCEDIT.EXT file consists of the extensions, and
the commands to edit files with that extension (usually
these commands are editors):
+---- Extension
| +---- Insert file name and extension
. .
asm: ne !.!
@ cls
+---------+
Commands
tells the Commander to run Norton Editor when you press F4
on a file that ends in .asm (such as "somename.asm"), and
then to clear the screen.
A comment line must contain symbol ' in first column.
You can type symbol @ before any DOS command to cancel
output of the prompt and the command line.
Here are all the ! arguments that you can use in commands:
Argument What Example
-------- --------------------------- ------------
!.! File name with the extension filename.ext
! File name, without extension filename
!: The current drive letter A:
!\ The current page \PATH
!! Insert the `!' character !
Notes:
. You can use ":" to match any file without an
extension.
. You can use DOS wildcard characters. So, for example,
"*:" will match any extension.
. There are two types of editor extension file: Main
and Local. The main extension file is stored in the
same directory as the Commander (or the directory
given by the VC environment variable). The local
extension file is an extension file in the current
directory. This allows you to have a number of
extension files in different directories.
. Press Alt+F4 to use the built-in editor.
