Copy
Purpose:
Copies a range
of lines to a specified line number, and when
used with the count option, copies this range as many times
as
you want.
Syntax:
[ line ],[ line ],line[ ,count]c
Comments:
The first and second line options specify the range of lines that
you
want to copy. If you omit the first or second line option,
edlin defaults to the current line. The third line option specifies
the line before which edlin will place
the copied lines.
You
must not overlap the line numbers or you will get an "Entry
error" message. For example, the following command would result
in an
error message:
3,20,15c
If you do not specify a number for the count option, edlin copies
the lines one time and automatically renumbers the file after the
copy.
Examples:
As an example of how to use the C (copy) command with edlin,
type the following lines:
1: Sharpe Office Supplies
2: The World Leader in Office Sharpeware
3: I.R. Sharpe, President
4 :
5: "You oughta be Sharpe too."
You could copy this entire block of text by typing the following
command:
1
,5, 6c
