Command Sequences in the Workfile: EXEC
As you may already know, you can store exaEdit commands in the
exaEdit profile files and then the commands are executed when
exaEdit or a new workfile is started (compare section
The Profile Files).
But this execution
happens only once and only before the file is loaded. If you want to
have prepared sequences of exaEdit commands executed, you may
use the command storages X and Y and
the programmable function keys F1, F2,
..., but
the amount of executable commands is very limited. An expansion of
this possibility works as follows:
- Create a workfile with the name EXEC.
- Fill this workfile with the commands you want to have
executed.
- Go back to the other workfile where you actually want to
edit a text.
- Type the command EXEC.
Then, all characters of the workfile EXEC are
executed in a row in the current workfile.
You should note the following particularities:
You can find further details at the description of the command EXEC in
section The Commands in Detail.
