- PREDITOR - A text editor for program writing.
-
- The program PREDITOR is written in the Structured Programming Language.
-
- The following are commands for the PRogram EDITOR:
-
-
- 1. OP <filename>
-
- This command opens the file with the file name represented by
- <filename>. You can only open a previously created file.
- If you want to create a new file, use the input command to
- place text into the file buffer and then use the save command
- which creates this new file.
-
- 2. CL
-
- This command saves the current opened file and closes it.
- It also clears the file buffer and allows the user to open another
- file.
-
- 3. S <filename>
-
- This command saves the current file buffer to the named file. It
- also leaves all the text in the file buffer. It also allows the
- user to make more than one copy of the file and then make changes
- and save the next edition of the file buffer in another file.
- 4. I
-
- This command is for input and will input as many lines as you want
- after the curent line, and will insert them before the next line.
- To end input merely enter carriage return as the first character
- on the line and you will be back in Edit mode.
- To have a blank line merely enter a space in column one and then
- enter a carriage return.
-
- 5. F !<search string>!
-
- This command allows the user to find a line with the text pattern
- in the search string entered in the command. The search begins
- with the current line and proceeds to the end of the file buffer.
- If a match is found, the Editor places you on the line where the
- match occurs. If no match is found, a message stating that no match
- was found is issued by the Editor.
-
- 6. C !<search string>!<replacement string>
-
- This command allows the user to change the current line by
- replacing a string on the current line, with a new string.
- The editor remains on the current line for other changes if
- need be.
-
- 7. L <low line number>,<high line number>
-
- This command allows the user to list lines from the file buffer
- onto the screen. To list one line only, do not use the comma
- and the high line number in the command. To list from the
- low line number to the end of the file, use an * as the high
- line number. To list the current line, do not use the low number
- and the high number. Merely enter L.
-
- 8. P <low line number>,<high line number>
-
- This command is similar to the L command, but it prints lines
- to the printer.
-
- 9. D <low line number>,<high line number>
-
- This command allows the user to delete lines from the file
- buffer. To delete lines from the low line number to the end
- of the file use an * as the high line number. To delete the
- current line do not use the low line number and the high line
- number.
-
- 10. T
-
- This command allows the user to go to the top of the file
- buffer. The current line is the first line.
-
- 11. B
-
- This command allows the user to go to the bottom of the file
- buffer. The current line is the last line.
-
- 12. STOP
-
- This command simply exits the editor. You are responsible
- for saving the current file before you exit the editor.
- The STOP command does not save any file.
-
- This program is shareware. If you have translated this
- program from SPL to BASIC using the SPL processor, and
