- The following is a repost in the hope that more people will respond
- this time. I have had many inquiries asking for the results of my
- posting, so I know there is a good deal of interest in the matter.
- This is quite logical as it is a very common need. Please respond
- if you can. Here it is once again.

- Does anybody out there in netland have any perl scripts that do
- simple full-screen editing on either ascii or wordprocessor format
- files that they wouldn't mind sharing? They don't have to be
- anything fancy, just plain vanilla editors (in fact they could be
- line oriented although full-screen would be preferred).
- Preferably, they would be in the form of a subroutine, but if they
- are not, I imagine that it is a minor modification for me to make.
- (I am obviously no pro at this stuff yet).
-
- I will provide a summary for those interested, of the code sent, so
- that an assortment of these will be available to all. I will of
- course give credit to the party sending the script in the summary.
-
- So far as I am concerned, scripts that will run on DOS ports of
- perl are preferred, but UNIX versions are of interest to me, since
- they could be used as a base to modify to a DOS version.
-
- A typical use (as a subroutine) might be: You have just written a
- script that modifies interactively a set of ascii or wordperfect
- files, but have come across some atypical errors that were not
- planned for in your script, so you take the option in your script
- (assuming you put it there) to invoke the editor, make the odd
- changes in the editor and then return to your script to continue
- processing the files for the rest of the errors (changes) that were
- anticipated.
-
- Thank you very much for the help.
