help
- minimal abbreviation H - provides you with a list of all exaEdit commands. The capitalized initials of the command words you find there denote the minimal abbreviations; the whole help list of commands is sorted according to the abbreviations.
With the command
help command
you receive information about the command you specified. For example, the result of HELP CHANGE looks as follows:
help change Change [col1 [col2]] /string1/string2/ [n] [A] [D] [H] [I] change data string1 is searched in n lines (default 1) and replaced by string2. Without string2 string1 is removed. 'A' changes all occurrences in the line, D displays changed lines. H interprets hexadecimal. 'I' searches case-insensitive. Search is restricted by ZONE or the specified columns (which come first).
This information is structured as follows:
In the first line there is the syntax on the left, and a very brief characterization of the function of the command on the right. Beneath, there is an explanation of the function and the parameters.
For the syntax, square brackets [ ] are used to mark specifications that can be left out.
Please, try to get used to this manner of representing information and look at the help texts of some commands you have learnt to know so far.
Usually, the full exaEdit user manual can be read on-screen (via WWW-Browser) by using the command MANUAL.
