- Six CED-ARexx-Programs

-
- Here are a few ARexx programs for CygnusEd Pro. I wrote them for my
- personal needs some time ago, but as they are really handy, I thought I
- might make them available to other users.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- To use the programs, copy them to your 'Rexx:ced' directory. You
- can try them from CED using "Send DOS/Arexx Command..." from the menu;
- enter "ced/<programname>" in the requester (you don't need the ".ced"
- suffix).
- To install them permanently, you can either assign them to function
- keys via "Install DOS/Arexx command..." or execute them as a macro. For
- example, I have bound "LeftShift" to the "<"-key and "RightShift" to ">".
-
-
- Descriptions
- ------------
-
- Most of the programs (except for "FormatNewsHeader") operate on the
- currently marked block. For example, to mark a paragraph with "«" on
- the right side, go to the first line, turn block marking on, move the
- cursor to the last line you want to mark, then call "MarkRight".
-
-
- Left-C-Comment.ced
-
- This program turns the currently marked block into a C-comment. If no
- block is marked, it comments the current line. Example:
-
- /*
- * Put a nice C-style comment on the left hand side
- * of the current block or current line.
- *
- */
-
-
- LeftShift.ced / RightShift.ced
-
- These programs move the currently marked block to the left and right
- respectivly. The indent depth is the current tabsize setting. Useful
- for in- and outdenting blocks in a source file.
-
-
- MarkRight.ced
-
- This program marks the currently selected block with "«" signs on the
- right margin. I use it to mark important paragraphs in the news
- articles I keep in my archive.
-
-
- Quote.ced
-
- This program turns the currently selected block into a quote by
- inserting "> " at the beginning of every line.
-
-
- FormatNewsHeader.ced
-
- This program strips unnecessary lines from the header of news articles
- and reformats them. It considers the next line starting with "Article:"
- as the start of a header. The result looks like this:
