The REPLACE Command: Replacing Lines of Text
Revising Text in Your File
3–6
058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated
If you type a double slant (//) in response to the line number prompt, EDIT
asks the following question:
SHALL I DELETE THE REMAINING LINES?
If you type YES (or simply Y), EDIT deletes the current line and any
remaining lines in the range. Any other response leaves the current and
remaining lines unchanged. In either case, the REPLACE command
terminates. For example:
*REPLACE 4/9
4 Says Simple Simon to the pieman:
4 The Knave of Hearts
5 "Pray let me taste your ware."
5 He stole those tarts
6 Says the pieman to Simple Simon:
6 And took them clean away.
7 "Show me first your penny."
