- Introduction to TECO Context Editor
- -----------------------------------
- The TECO (TExt COntext) editor is a non-visual, character oriented
- editor which was developed at the Massachussets Institute of Technology in
- the late 1960s as part of a project in artificial intelligence. When fully
- implemented, TECO supports conditionals, branching, and forms its own unique
- programming language, in fact EMACs was originally written in TECO !!! My
- version is considerably simplified from full-blown TECO, but it still is
- very powerful, allowing the user to edit BINARY (ie .EXE) as well as simple
- ASCII files, changing the value of arbitrary bytes anywhere in the file.
- To start editing in my version of TECO, you must give a file
- specification on the command line. Do this by typing either
- TECO myfile.ext
- if you want to edit "myfile.ext", or you can type
- TECO outfile.ext=infile.ext
- where "outfile.ext" is the output file, and "infile.ext" is the source
- file. To create a file from scratch, enter the command
- TECO newfile.ext=NUL
- where "newfile.ext" is the new file, and "NUL" is the null device.
- Congratulations!! You are now in TECO mode, and can start using
- the TECO command set. TECO commands are character sequences of the form
- number letter string ESC
- where "number" is signed number which defaults to 1 if not specified,
- "letter" is a valid TECO command, "string" is the object for the command,
- and "ESC" is the escape key (which echoes as $ on the console display).
- Commands sequences are not executed immediately, but are stacked in a buffer
- for later execution. All the TECO commands stored in the buffer are then
- executed at once when the user types two ESC characters. The TECO commands
- implemented are:
- num A - Appends "number" pages of text to work area
- from the input file, where a "page" is
- defined as an arbitrary number of bytes,
- ending in "Form Feed"
- num C - Advance "number" characters in the page.
- num D - Delete "number" characters.
- EF - Exit TECO without writing this page to
- the output file
- EX - Exit TECO, writing this page out and
- then copying the remainder of the input
- file to the output file. Normal TECO exit
- num FS old ESC new ESC - Replace string "old" with string "new"
- a total of "num" times. Replace fails if
- string "old" not on current page.
- num FN old ESC new ESC - Replace string "old" with string "new"
- a total of "num" times, Paging in text
- as necessary...
- HK - Delete everything in the current page.
- HT - Type everything in the current page.
- num I - Insert a single ascii character whose value
- is "number" into the page.
- I text ESC - Insert "text" from buffer.
- num J - Jump to position "number" in page. If
- "num" is omitted, go to start of page
- num K - Kill "number" lines from the page.
- num L - Advance "num" lines in page.
- num N string ESC - Search for "string" a total of "num" times
- Go to end of file if needed to find "string"
- num P - Write page to the output file, and read in
- a new page from the input file. Do this
- a total of "num" times.
- num R - Go backward "num" characters in the page
- num S string ESC - Search for "string" a total of "num" times,
- with error if not found on current page.
- num T - Type out next "num" lines in page
- num V - Type out "num" lines preceding and "num"
- lines following current location in page.
- num < string ESC > ESC - Iterate the "string" TECO command(s) within
- angle brackets a total of "num" times.
- If "num" not specified, iterate forever.
- This is a *VERY POWERFUL* command.
- ^C - Exit TECO and delete output file. The
- input file will be left untouched...
- There are also some characters which assume numeric values. These are:
- B - This is a synonym for 0 (zero)
- Z - This is the number of characters in
- the current page
- . - This is where you are in the page.
- (this version of TECO does not support arithmetic with numeric values.)
- To cancel TECO typeout, hit CTRL-O, and all output will be suppressed
- until the next TECO command string is requested from the console.
