Typing Several Commands on One Line
EDIT Command Summary
4–6 058061 Tandem Computers Incorporated
When you run the EDIT program noninteractively:
The IN and OUT keywords accept a full file name or a partial file name.
(See “How EDIT Files Are Named” in Section 6 for information on file
names.)
The EDIT program reads 132-byte records from the command file until
the end-of-file is encountered. You can give multiple commands per
record by separating the commands with a semicolon (;).
When the output file is an unstructured disk file, each record is 132
characters (partial lines are blank-filled through column 132).
Examples
1. A command file contains editor commands that will be executed by the
EDIT program. A command file can also contain comment lines (any
line that begins with an asterisk in the first column). When the EDIT
program executes a command file, it ignores any comment line. (See the
OBEY command description, later in this section, for more information
on comment lines.)
