EDLIN
Command Reference
Append
Lines
(A)
[number]A
Adds
the
specified number of lines from disk to
the
file being
edited
in
memory. The lines
are
added
at
the
end of
the
file.
This
command is meaningful only
if
the
file being edited is too
large to fit into memory. Before using
this
command, you
must
write
the
portion of
the
file
that
was loaded into memory (and
which
has
been
edited)
to
disk.
Refer
to
the
Write
Lines
command.
When
the
Append command reads
the
last
line of
the
file into
memory, EDLIN displays
the
message:
End
of
input
file
If
you omit
the
number of lines, EDLIN appends lines
until
available memory is
75%
full. However,
if
memory is already
75% full, EDLIN does nothing.
Example:
1
~ ~
A
(ENTER
I
appends 100 lines from
the
disk to
the
file
in
memory.
