Repeat Count

TEDIT Topics

Note If you press *C and type the repeat count on the command line, and then press the function

key for DELETE and the function key for LINE, TEDIT sees this as:

Command: 4 DELETE; LINE

This is the same as if you

pressed four times

and then pressed .

One line is deleted.

TEDIT considers each command assigned to a function key as a complete command. So, in

the preceding example, when you use the DELETE command on a function key with a

repeat count of four, TEDIT does a DELETE;DELETE;DELETE;DELETE and then LINE

(which was the next function key you pressed).

Tips

You cannot give a repeat count with these text items or commands:

Text Items Commands

BALANCED-EXPRESSION BREAKLINE

REGION CANCEL

WINDOW FC

EOL (DELETE and MOVE) HELP

OPENWINDOW

RECONFIGURE

RENUMBER

REPEAT

REPLACE

RULER

SHOWNUMBER

The repeat count only repeats the command immediately following the

repeat count, unless you specify the # symbol after the repeat count and

before the command.
