range and string-range parameters.
Syntax of the Range-
Specifier Parameter
range-specifier
{ line-range-list [ , string-range-list ] |
string-range [ line-range-list ] }
[ RANGE { line-range-list |
string-range [ line-range-list ] } [ , ... ] ]
line-range-list:
line-range [ line-range] ...
string-range-list:
string-range [ string-range] ...
string-range
specifies one or more strings. See the String-Range parameter.
RANGE
is a keyword that tells EDIT to look for the specified string
in the line-range-list or string-range that follows the keyword. RANGE
and the range-list that follows it cannot stand on its own; these
elements always refer to the line-range or string that precedes the
keyword.
Note
When you specify a repetition of this range parameter that includes the keyword RANGE,
you must use a comma before the keyword.
