Line-Range-List
Parameter
The line-range-list parameter is based on the line-range parameter. It allows
an optional repetition of the line-range parameter when an editor command
will accept it. Because the repetition of the line-range is optional, an editor
command offers more flexibility when the syntax specifies a line-range- list.
A line-range-list parameter can represent a single line of text as well as
something as complex as separate groups of text in a file.
Syntax of the Line-Range-
List Parameter
line-range-list:
is the following
line-range [ line-range ] ...
Refer to the previous presentation of the Line-Range Parameter for a full
description.
How to Use the Line-
Range-List Parameter
Separate each range with a space. (See the examples below and
examples for following range-list parameters.)
When you specify a line-range-list parameter, you can specify single
line numbers in any order, but you must specify the beginning-line and
ending-line of any group of contiguous lines of text in ascending order
(lower to higher). (See examples below.)
