Replace Mode Ins
(While in Insert Mode any character
inserted into the line at the
current cursor position. Replace
Mode causes the characters on the
screen to be overwritten by the
characters typed in.)
ASCII CHARACTERS
There are three ways to insert
characters: 1. Type in any
keyboard character. 2. Hold down
the Alt key and enter the decimal
value (between 0 and 255) of the
character. And 3. for characters
with ASCII value less than 32 hold
down the Control key and press the
corresponding letter on the
keyboard (ex: Control J = 10 (new
line), Control I = 9 (tab), etc.).
NOTE: Two ASCII characters are not
allowed. 1. Control Z (or Alt 26)
is the system's End of File
character, so if allowed to be
entered where ever it was in the
file would effectively terminate
the file there, all text following
it would be unrecoverable. 2.
Control M is this editor's Carrige
Return, so instead of entering the
character it would perform a
carrige return (if you need a
carrige return character use Alt
M).
MACROS
A macro is a recording of
characters and/or cursor commands
that is predefined by the user and
can recalled and inserted into text
on the screen at (practically) any
time by entering the Macro Key
Combination that holds this
recording. To create a macro:
select the Macros option on the
Command Menu. Next press the
function key (F1 thru F10) to hold
the macro recording (up to 80
characters or cursor commands can
be recorded on each function key).
Hit Esc to end recording. To
invoke a macro: hold down the Alt
key and press the function key
where the recording is stored.
SEARCH & REPLACE
To invoke the Search & Replace
functions select Global Srch from
the Command Menu. There are two
Search & Replace functions. 1.
Search for a user defined string
and replace it with another user
defined string. 2. Wildcard
Search & Replace. In the first
function (standard search &
replace) you will be prompted for
the string to search for, then for
the string to replace it with. Next
you will be asked if you want the
replacement to be automatic or not.
If so, this allows the program to
automatically search out all
occurances of the search string in
the Current File Segment and
replace them. In non-automatic
mode there is a special, unique,
feature: The cursor control keys
are active. If you miss a replace,
or wish to skip a section of the
file, or want to move back upwards
in the file, just use the four
arrow keys and the cursor will move
in the desired direction. When you
make a replacement the function
will continue on from the current
cursor position. Wildcard Search
is also a special, unique, feature:
Wildcard Search means that you will
be prompted for a single character
to base the search on. Then you
can enter a number of characters,
before or after the search
character, to be deleted or
replaced with other characters.
You then make the choice of either
deleting the wildcard character or
not. If you wish to have the wild-
card character remain in the text
just answer (N)o to the Delete
Wildcard Character (Y/N) ? prompt.
Please note that in either search
function, if in Automatic Mode,
hitting Esc will stop search,
else if in non-Automatic Mode
pressing F10 will quit the
function.
