Support : Dialog Search Aids : Successful Searching : EDIT : MOVE, QUERY, and QUIT

EDIT (continued)

MOVE

Use MOVE to move one or more lines of text to another location. Enter MOVE followed by the line number you want to move, the word TO, and the first line number of the new location.

You can also move a range of lines (e.g., MOVE 10-30 TO 131), a non-sequential series of lines (e.g., MOVE 10,30 to 81), or a combination of the two (e.g., MOVE 100, 130-150 TO 255). Be sure that the total number of lines you are moving will fit within the line numbering of the new location. If your lines are numbered in increments of 10, and you want to move more than 9 lines, you will need to RENUM the lines in larger increments (e.g., RENUM 20).

When you MOVE lines within a search strategy, be sure to adjust any set numbers you have used in the strategy.

• To move line 10 to a position between lines 20 and 30:

EDIT:
?list
  10. S RADON
  20. S HOUSE? OR HOME?
  30. S S2/DE
  40. S S1 AND S3 
?move 10 to 25
EDIT:
?list
  20. S HOUSE? OR HOME?
  25. S RADON
  30. S S2/DE
  40. S S1 AND S3

QUERY

QUERY produces the same summary message that appears after the EDIT command. It indicates the name of the strategy being edited, the total number of lines currently in the strategy, the increment by which the lines are numbered, and the number of the last line.

• To view summary information about the strategy:

EDIT:
?query
Name: SBRAD
Total lines:   4
Line increment: 10
Last line:  40

QUIT

QUIT allows you to exit from the Editor, without saving any changes to the text you have edited. Any changes you made during the editing session are canceled, leaving the search strategy the same as before you began to edit. If you were creating new text, QUIT cancels it.

• To quit the editing session without saving the strategy:

EDIT:
?quit
>>>Exit from editor: no file saved.

(EDIT RENUM)
