Chapter 10 I EDLIN Command Reference
Copy Lines (C)
[linel][,line2],line3[, count]C
Copies all lines rangIng from line1 to line2, placing them imme-
diately ahead of line3. Using the count parameter,
you can copy
the lines as many times as you want.
If you omit linel or line2, EDLIN copies the current line. If you
omit the count, EDLIN copies the line(s) only once.
Note: If you omit the linel parameter, your command
must include a comma immediately preceding the
line2 parameter.
The file is renumbered automatically after the
copy, and the
first line copied becomes
the current line. For example:
3 , 9 , 1 2 C I ENTER I
copies Lines 3-9 to Line 12. Line 12 becomes the current line.
Note: Line numbers must not overlap. If they do,
EDLIN displays
an error message. Also, you must not
use
the plus and minus signs.
Examples:
Assume that the following file exists and is ready to be edited. If
you want to create the file, see the Insert command.
1: This sample file
2: shows what happens
3: when you use
4: the Copy command
