- Mined is a simple screen editor. At any instant, a window of 24
- lines is visible on the screen. The current position in the file is
- shown by the cursor. Ordinary characters typed in are inserted at the
- cursor. Control characters and keys on the numeric keypad (at the
- right-hand side of the keyboard) are used to move the cursor and perform
- other functions.
- Commands exist to move forward and backward a word, and delete
- words either in front of the cursor or behind it. A word in this
- context is a sequence of characters delimited on both ends by white
- space (space, tab, line feed, start of file, or end of file). The
- commands for deleting characters and words also work on line feeds,
- making it possible to join two consecutive lines by deleting the line
- feed between them.
- The editor maintains one save buffer (not displayed). Commands are
- present to move text from the file to the buffer, from the buffer to the
- file, and to write the buffer onto a new file. If the edited text
- cannot be written out due to a full disk, it may still be possible to
- copy the whole text to the save buffer and then write it to a different
- file on a different disk with CTRL-Q. It may also be possible to escape
- from the editor with CTRL-S and remove some files.
- Some of the commands prompt for arguments (file names, search
- patterns, etc.). All commands that might result in loss of the file
- being edited prompt to ask for confirmation.
- A key (command or ordinary character) can be repeated n times by
- typing ESC n key where ESC is the 'escape' key.
- Forward and backward searching requires a regular expression as the
- search pattern. Regular expressions follow the same rules as in the
- UNIX editor, ed. These rules can be stated as:
- Any displayable character matches itself.
- . (period) matches any character except line feed.
- ^ (circumflex) matches the start of the line.
- $ (dollar sign) matches the end of the line.
-
-
- c matches the character c (including period, circumflex, etc).
- [string] matches any of the characters in the string.
- [^string] matches any of the characters except those in the
- string.
- [x-y] matches any characters between x and y (e.g., [a-z]).
- Pattern* matches any number of occurrences of pattern.
- Some examples of regular expressions are:
- The boy matches the string 'The boy'
- ^$ matches any empty line.
- ^.$ matches any line containing exactly 1 character
- ^A.*.$ matches any line starting with an A, ending with a
- period.
- ^[A-Z]*$ matches any line containing only capital letters (or
- empty).
- [A-Z0-9] matches any line containing either a capital letter or a
- digit.
- .*X$ matches any line ending in 'X'
- A.*B matches any line containing an 'A' and then a 'B'
- Control characters cannot be entered into a file simply by typing
- them because all of them are editor commands. To enter a control
- character, depress the ALT key, and then while holding it down, hit the
- ESC key. Release both ALT and ESC and type the control character.
- Control characters are displayed in reverse video.
