Screen Layout

Although the number of text lines can be varied with Set Visual Above and Below, the screen always contains the following elements:

===>

Okay 1691.75 WFILE.DOC.TACCT "verify"(u)

-1 procedure abc;

* begin

+1 integer def;

+2 double xyz;

// ....+....10...+....20...+....30...+....40...+

Home line Type commands and strings here (===>)

Status line Shows current line, file, string, status/hint

Text lines "!" means line is wider than screen
"?" means nonprinting characters

Template "//" must not be erased

Commands at the Home Line

Type commands after "===>" and press Enter or F7.

Cut-and-Paste Indicators

To define and process a block of lines, use tags in the two blank columns at the left edge of the screen. Qedit keeps a copy of MM, CC, DD, RR and JJ blocks in the Hold0 file. To cancel a pending tag, put a period (.) in the home line (===>) and press F7.

DD Begin and end of delete block

CC Begin and end of copy block

MM Begin and end of move block

A Insert after this line (or use F)

B Insert before this line (or use P)

A0 Insert Hold0 file after this line (or use F0)

B0 Insert Hold0 file before this line (or use P0)

ZZ Begin and end of marked block

HH Begin and end of block written to Hold file

HJ Begin and end of block appended to Hold file

AH Insert Hold file after this line (or use FH)

BH Insert Hold file before this line (or use PH)

Rn Replicate this line n times

Rn Replicate block delimited by RR, n times

JJ Begin and end of justify block

VV Divide lines at "~" or append blank line

GG Join lines together

XX Exclude lines from display

D C M Z H V G Process only one line instead of a block

Visual Emulation on HP-UX

Starting from HP-UX 11.0, HP stopped supporting block-mode operations on HP terminals. This means regular Visual mode does not work on these versions anymore. If Qedit/UX is running on HP-UX 11.0 or higher, you can use block-mode emulation by enabling Set Visual Blockemulation On.

Screen Mode for VT Terminals

On VT terminals, type "visual" to enter Screen mode from Line mode.

Qedit Commands

This guide describes, in alphabetical order, the commands that Qedit understands at the line prompt (/ or qux/), the Visual home line (===>), the Visual "Next command?" prompt, and the "More?" prompt of ListJumping.

A command shown with a colon (:) is an MPE-style command. You enter one per line, must spell the full word, can omit the leading colon, use the semicolon (;) for keywords, and enter an asterisk (*) to pass the currently open file to the command.

A command shown with an exclamation mark (!) is a HP-UX or POSIX shell command. You enter one per line, must spell the full word, and can omit the leading exclam. Asterisk is not used in shell commands to indicate the currently open file, because asterisk is an important substitution character in HP-UX and POSIX, usually indicating all the files in the current directory.

A command shown without a colon or exclam is a Qedit command. You can enter several commands per line, each separated by ";" and commands can be abbreviated to the leading substring shown in capital letters (e.g., AP is the shortest abbreviation of APpend).

File Names

Wherever Qedit expects a file name, you can use the $file= keyword followed by the actual name enclosed in quotes. This is very useful when file names contain special characters that might be incorrectly interpreted by Qedit.

text $file="This.is-a-special_filename"

Windows, Patterns, and Regular Expressions

A window in parentheses may follow a string to define how it matches, e.g.,

list "qedit" (1/40 up)

Qedit supports the following expressions in a window:

startcol/endcol	Search columns
Smart \| NOSmart	Inside another word
Upshift \| NOUpshift	Ignore the case
Match \| NOMatch	True = not found
Pattern \| NOPattern	String is a pattern
Regexp \| NORegexp	String is a regular expression

A Qedit pattern is similar to a regular expression, but uses MPE Listf-style wildcard characters. E.g.,

list "@cost@fixed@" (pattern)

Qedit supports the following wildcards in patterns:

@	Zero or more characters of any type
#	Exactly one numeric character (0 to 9)
?	Exactly one alpha (A to Z, a to z) or numeric
~	Zero or more blank characters
&	Escape character (defines next character as a literal)
^ !	Reserved for future use

Qedit supports the following metacharacters in regular expressions:

^	Start-of-line anchor
$	End-of-line anchor
.	Matches any character
?	Optional character
*	Matches zero or more of the preceding character
+	Matches one or more of the preceding character
[	Start a character class
]	End a character class
^	If first character in character class, negate class
(	Subpattern start
)	Subpattern end

Qedit recognizes the following escaped characters in regular expressions:

\b	Backspace
\e	ASCII escape character (ESC)
\f	Form feed
\n	Newline (line feed)
\r	Carriage return
\s	Space
\t	Horizontal tab
\DDD	1-3 octal digits representing a character's ASCII value
\xDDD	1-3 hex digits representing a character's ASCII value
\^C	Control code (e.g., Control-G (^G) is the bell character)
\1\2	Subpattern (in replace string only)

Strings

Characters enclosed in single quotes or double quotes are a string (e.g., "abcd"). Other string delimiters are : \ ~ and |. MPE also includes ! & _ ? # and >. You can change this list with Set StringDelimiters. Some characters are not usable at the Visual mode home line. Set Decimal On enables ASCII codes (e.g., '07 = bell character). Verify String shows the last string; List "" reuses the string.

Lines, Ranges, and Rangelists

A line defines a position in the file:

[ or First	First line of file
] or Last	Last line of file
*	Current line of file
nn.nn	Any line number: 4, 100, 1.1
line + count	Relative position forward: * + 10
line – count	Relative position backward: Last - 10

A range can be an entire file (@ or ALL), a single line, a line range (e.g., 10/20), or the block of lines marked by ZZ:

list all {entire file}

list 5 {only line 5}

list 5/10 {lines 5 through 10}

list *-5/ {from 5 lines back to end of file}

list zz {see ZZ command and cut-and-paste}

A range can also be the lines containing one or more strings, or a block of lines bounded by a beginning string and an ending string:

list "bob" {all lines that contain "bob"}

list "bob" zz {only search ZZ lines for "bob"}

list "bob" or "ken"{lines containing either string}

list "start-proc" / "end-proc"

A rangelist is a list of ranges (not of the string variety):

list 501 617 zz

list 2/3 7/9

COBOL Copylib Members

To access a Copylib member, put its name in parentheses, as in List (base). To look in another Copylib, append the file to the member, as in Text (base) baselib. To see the member names in a Copylib, use a pattern such as List (@).

Line Modify Codes

Qedit has these three choices for interacting with the Modify command:

Set Modify Robelle (default). Printing characters replace, and control keys edit (e.g., Delete = Control-D = ^D).

^A Append ^I Tab

^B Insert ^L Append

^^ Insert ^O Overwrite

^D Delete ^V Divide

^G Goof ^T Stop edit

^A^D Delete at end, then add

^A^O Replace end ^A^V New line

^T^V Splice lines ^T^D Delete line

Set Modify Qzmodify. This WYSIWYG choice gives you the Robelle Modify functions, plus the following:

^E Erase ^Q Help

^J Justify ^U Move to previous tab

^K New line ^X Redraw

^Fc Next "c" ^Fnc Find n^th "c"

^Sc Previous "c" ^Snc n^th previous "c"

^Pn- Back n lines ^Pn+ Ahead n lines

^W^C Compress ^W? Show decimal char value

^W^D Delete word ^Wc^D Delete to "c"

^W^L Ruled "line" ^W^S^D Change line to lowercase

^W^N Toggle "num" ^W^S^U Change line to uppercase

^W^P Put any char ^W$cc Put a hexadecimal char

Set Modify HP. This is like MPE/iX Redo.

I Insert > Append (>D = delete)

D Delete >R Replace at end

R Replace U Undo

C\x\y Change D> Clear rest of line

Configuration: Set Command

The Set command configures Qedit. Combine options for the same keyword in the same Set command, but use different Set commands for different keywords. E.g.,

set check delete on justify on {good}

set decimal on visual bell '222 {error}

set decimal on; set visual bell '222 {good}

MPE/iX NM Compilers

Use the Qcompxl.Qeditjob stream to adjust your NM compilers to read Qedit files in either MPE or Qedit. Then use these commands to invoke the compilers, using * to compile the currently-open file:

cob74xl * pasxl *

cob85xl * ftnxl *

ccxl *

MPE V Compilers

Use the generic COMPILE command to invoke the MPE/V compiler associated with the language of the file being compiled:

COMPILE file, usl, list, mast, new [ ;info "string" ]

Or use language-specific compiler commands, which take the same parameters as the generic command:

spl * {* = current file}

pascal 300/414.5 {compile a range of lines}

fortran * {see Set Whichcomp}

ftn * {FORTRAN 77}

cobolii * {COBOL 74}

cobol * {see Set Whichcomp}

rpg filename,,lp {LP means dev = lp}

PowerHouse

PowerHouse can read Qedit files and then suspend itself. See Q@.Qedcmd.Robelle.

Quiz: qz *

QTP: qp filename

Qdesign: qd filename

JCWs/Variables to Configure Qedit

On MPE you can set Qedit's environment by setting JCWs before starting Qedit.

On HP-UX you can set Qedit's environment by exporting and setting environment variables before starting Qedit. If you set RCRTMODEL to 2, Qedit autodetects your terminal type.

RCRTMODEL – Model of HP terminal

0 haven't checked yet 2645 no labels

1 not an HP terminal 2392 etc.

2 autodetect 7009 700/92 or 700/94

1234 HPterm-type emulators

RPCVERSION – Which terminal emulator? (0 = haven't checked yet, 1 = not an emulator)

wXyyy, where

w= 0 Display width can be expanded

1 Display width cannot be expanded

2 132-column VGA in Reflection

X= 0 DOS Reflection

1 Macintosh Reflection

2 Windows Reflection

5 QCTerm emulator

yyy= Version number (420 = 4.20)

RCRTWIDTH – Usually 80, but can vary from 81 to 512.

RCRTSTRAPSGH – Override G/H straps

G H

0 no no (handshaking)

1 no yes

2 yes no

3 yes yes (no handshake, X.25)

RLABELDEFAULT – Function keys to show when not in visual mode

0 Don't care 4 Blank labels

1 No labels on terminal 5 F1-F8 labels

2 Show user keys 6 Qedit labels

3 Show modes keys

QEDITMGRTRACE – 1 means trace configuration files

QEDITCOUNT – Number of lines processed by the last command. (You don't set this, Qedit does.)

ROBELLE – Override Qedit's default location.

How to Run Qedit on MPE

:run qedit.pub.robelle [;info=] [;parm=]

Use "Info=filename" to specify file to edit, or commands to execute, depending on Parm. Combine options by adding the corresponding Parm values. Qedit first uses Qeditmgr.Pub in Sys and Robelle.

Parm= Meaning

1 Execute Qeditmgr.Pub.logonaccount

2 Execute Qeditmgr.logongroup.logonaccount

4 Execute Info= string

8 Repeat Info= string on every activate

32 Do not suspend on Exit

64 Verify Exit with user

128 Execute only Info= string

256 Suspend with Basicentry and Info= file

512 Quit after editing the Info= file

Info= Meaning

filename New file to edit

-c cmd Initial command string

-p n Parm= value

qedit "-p 64 myfile"

qedit "-p 512 -c 'set mod hp'"

qedit newfile

Basicentry: Dedicated Qedit on MPE

The Basicentry entry point does an automatic Text and Keep of a file. For an old or new Keep file:

:file edttext=abc

:run qedit.pub.robelle,basicentry

For an old or new Qedit file:

:file edttext=abc;code=111

:run qedit.pub.robelle,basicentry

UDCs and Command Files on MPE

Qedit looks for command files according to Hppath, and for UDCs according to the Set Udc command (Default: no UDCs). Such User Commands are like those in MPE/iX, including parameters and logic. I/O redirection of User Commands on MPE/iX requires the file Qloadxl.Pub. Robelle. To execute a Qedit command, put a slash (/) in front of it. To pass the current file as a parameter, use an asterisk (*). (For the last external file, use "$.") See @.Catalog.Robelle for many useful UDCs.

How to Run Qedit on HP-UX

qedit [–options] [filename]

Qedit determines which directory it is running in and uses that information as the path to its support and configuration files. Set the ROBELLE environment variable to override. Qedit automatically uses /opt/robelle/qeditmgr and $home/.qeditmgr.

Option Meaning

-c Initial command string

-s Single file

-v Verify Exit with user
