BREAK Command

The BREAK command separates a text line into two or more text lines.

What to Enter

BREAK line [ AT { column-num ... } ]

[ { [ WORD ] } ]

[ { [ BOTH ] "string" } ]

line

is all the characters that have the same line number.

AT

specifies the columns or strings where you want to split the line.

column-num

is one or more numbers from 1 to 239.

BOTH

tells the EDIT program to break the specified line at the occurrence of

string

, regardless of whether

string

is uppercase or lowercase in

the file. If you omit BOTH, the EDIT program breaks the specified line
at the first occurrence of

string

that matches exactly what you type.

WORD

tells the EDIT program to break the specified line at only the
occurrences of

string

that constitute a word. A word is defined as (1)

any character string that is preceded and followed by a space or any
character other than a number or letter or (2) a character string that
occurs at the end of a line. If you omit WORD, the EDIT program
breaks the specified line at the first occurrence of

string

.
