- Editing Control Characters
-
- Text files may have control characters in them. EDLIN displays such characters
- as a capital letter preceeded or followed by a circumflex. Ctrl-P will be
- displayed as P^ or ^P, for example. It is possible to I(nsert), R(eplace),
- and S(earch) for control characters. Control characters are listed in the
- NEW_TERMS ASCII 000-031(CONTROL_CHARACTERS) topic.
-
- Example input: What it means (the Return, Enter or <──┘ key
- must be pressed after every input line)
-
- *1SCtrl-VH<──┘ The file will be searched for a Ctrl-H.
-
- *1,10R_Ctrl-VHCtrl-Z<──┘ The pair of characters _ Ctrl-H will be
- replaced by the empty string on lines 1
- through 10 of the file being edited. This
- effectively removes them from the file.
-
- *1RCtrl-VZCtrl-Z<──┘ This will remove any Ctrl-Z characters in a
- file. The /B option must be on the EDLIN
- command line, or EDLIN won't read past the
- first Ctrl-Z in the file.
