Purpose:
Skips multiple characters in
the
template
up
to
the
specified
character.
Comments:
When
you
press
the 1'4 key,
edlin
skips
over
all characters
up
to
a given
character
in
the
template.
Edlin
does
not
copy
or
display
any
of
the
characters
up
to
and
including
the
given character.
Of
course,
if
the
template
does
not
contain that character,
edlin
does
not
skip any characters.
Note
that
the
action
of
the 1'4 key
is
similar
to
that
of
the
1'2 key,
except
1'4
skips
over
characters in
the
template instead
of
copying
them
to
the
current
line.
Example:
As
an
example
of
how
to
use
the
1'4 key
with
edlin,
type
the
following line:
1
:*Sharpe
Office
Supplies.
2:*
Remember
that at
the
beginning
of
the editing session,
the
cursor
(shown
by
the
underline)
is at
the
beginning
of
the
line.
When
you
press
the
1'4
key followed by
the
letter
c,
edlin
skips
over
all
the
characters in the template
up
to
the
c in
the
word
Office:
1'4
c
2:*
The
cursor
does
not move as
edlin
changes
the
template.
To
see
how
much
of
the
line has
been
skipped over,
press
the
1'3 key
to
copy
the
template. This action displays
the
rest
of
the
line and
moves
the
cursor
to
the
end
of
the
line:
