3. To delete a column in your text from the cursor position to the bottom
of the screen window in the column where the cursor is positioned,
enter:
Command: REPLACE ??, @2, */B, *:*+1, E
The line range can be extended to ALL, */L, and so forth.
How to Use
When you enter the REPLACE command alone on the command line or
with the function key, TEDIT shows these response lines:
Replace:
With:
In lines: */B
In columns: 1:239
Options:
The defaults are the items given to the last REPLACE command, if any;
otherwise, the “*/B” is the default for lines and the “1:239” is the default for
columns. You can replace existing text with new text by pressing the *C
function key.
The REPLACE command needs this information:
In the “Replace:” field, type up to 67 characters, including spaces.
The text can contain any characters on your keyboard. If the search-text
contains beginning or ending spaces, you must surround the entire
search-text with quotes. If you use quotes around the search-text and the
search-text contains quotes, you must double the quotes within the
search-text. For example:
The phrase: a “profile” setting
You enter: “a” “profile” “setting”
You can also search for a search-text pattern, see Section 2 for a
description.
