The file
on
drive A: will have the lines numbered
as
follows:
1:
This
is
line one
2:
This
is
line two
*
'-~
10:
This
is
line ten
*
100:
This
is
line one hundred
Similarly specifying
[N2J
fills in all leading spaces with a zero and replaces the
colon with a space. For example
if
the following command
is
given:
C>
PIP
A: = D: TEST .DOC[N2J
the file on drive A: will have the lines numbered
as
follows:
000001
This
is
line one
000002 This
is
line two
*
000010 This
is
line ten
*
000100 This
is
line one hundred
If
you wish
to
display the file with numbered lines
on
the screen, use:
C>PIP
CON:=D:
TEST.DOC[N]
or
C>
PIP
CON: = D: TEST .DOC[N2]
9. Object file transfer
""'IIG"
[0]
Normally
PIP
can only copy standard ASCII
or
HEX
files, but using this op-
tion allows it to transfer other types
of
files. Its effect
is
to
ignore the physical
end-of-file code a CTRL-Z (ASCII
26
or 1A hex) wherever it occurs in the ob-
ject file, because in this context it will not be signalling the end
of
the file.

It
is
not necessary to use this optional parameter with a COM file, because
PIP
will automatically add it. However, when using it with other machine code or
object
files
which do not have the file extension COM, the
[OJ
parameter MUST
be used.
10. Read system files
".Ii
IlL"
[R]
This option makes it possible to read and copy system files, that is, files which
do not appear in the directory and those with a filetype
of
SYS.
It
automatical-
ly sets the
[WJ
option.

11. Stop copying
at
specified string
'i"'IIL"
[QstringI\Z]
(I\Z
means type a I
CTRL
I -
00
by holding the I
CTRL
I key down while press-
ing the Z key.)
If
you only want
to
transfer part
of
a file, giving this option will cause
PIP
to
copy the file until it finds the specified string. Only text before the string
will be copied.
'4l1li6
A>
PIP
LST: = B:REPORT .DOC[QTHE ENDI\Z]
If
you want
to
search for a string containing lower case characters this can only
be used from the
PIP
* prompt. This
is
because
CP
1M
converts everything
typed
on
the command line into upper case including the string you have given
and
PIP
will not be able
to
find it, because it
is
searching for the upper case
equivalent
of
your string.
14l1li6
* LST: = B:REPORT .DOC[QTbe Endl\Z]
It
can be used with the next option
to
copy a section from the middle
of
a file.
12. Start copying
at
a specified string
...i'IIL"
[SstringI\Z]
This behaves in much the same way
as
the [Qstringl\ZJ option, except that it
starts copying from the end
of
the specified string. The same conditions apply
