- EDLIN
-
- The EDLIN external command is used to create, edit, and display files of up
- to 65,529 lines in length. Each line can be up to 253 characters long.
-
- EDLIN [d:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] [/B]
-
- [d1:][pathname1]filename1[.ext1] is the source file. A device name may also
- be used.
-
- /B causes the file to be treated as a binary file. The file size is
- determined by the size listed in the directory. Without the /B option,
- the first Ctrl-Z character in the file will determine the file size.
-
- EDLIN associates a line number with each line in the file. Inserting a line
- automatically increases the line numbers of following lines by 1. Deleting a
- line automatically decreases the line numbers of following lines by 1. Line
- numbers can be entered absolutely, or relative to the current line number (by
- preceeding the relative number with a "+" or "-"). A line number of . implies
- the current line number, while # implies the last line number plus 1.
