EDLIN
Command Reference
line
(line
number)
This
parameter
denotes
that
you must indicate a line number
(not always a numeral). Separate line numbers from commands,
parameters, and other line numbers
with
a comma or a space.
You
may specify a line
in
three
ways:
• A number less
than
65534.
If
you specify a number
larger
than
the
number of existing lines, EDLIN adds a
line to
the
file.
• A period
(.),
which indicates
the
current line. This is
the
last
line edited, not necessarily the
last
line displayed.
The
current
line is always marked on your screen
by
an
asterisk
(*)
between
the
line
number
and
the
first
character.
• A pound sign
(N), indicates
the
last
line of a program.
For example,
the
command # I will begin
an
insert
at
the
end of your program.
string
(a
group
of
characters)
This
parameter
represents a portion of text EDLIN is to find,
replace, delete, or use to replace other text. Use
this
parameter
only
with
the
Search and Replace commands. End each
string
with
I
CIRL
I [I).
Do
not include spaces between strings or between
a
string
and
the
command letter (unless you want those spaces
to be
part
of
the
string).
