RE: Search/Replace Func Characters?

Title: RE: Search/Replace Func Characters?







I think the idea that this was a silly question was based on my intuitive sense that this action is pretty much unthinkable in Xy3...which (to the chagrin of many) is my preferred version of XyWrite. Fortunately, I keep Xy4 around for just such situations.



So, using the FN switch (and ascii 11) I now have a program that works from beginning to end exactly as I need it to...as long as I remember to run it under the correct app.



Thank you very much Carl.

What's ridiculous about it?  It's a perfectly sensible question.




The answer is yes.  In a couple of ways.  One, as Tim points out,

you can use the /FN switch and Ascii-11 (not 12) prefix.  For

example:




cv/fn "[11]bc"Func BC [Blank the command line]"




A more elegant alternative is to drop the /FN switch and put the

actual 3-byte function on the CMline as part of the command.  Either

of U2 routines PFUN or PFUNC enables this.  You type the two-char

mnemonic, it produces the 3-byte func; if the cursor is on the

CMline, it will put the func on the CMline.  You need to assign the

routine to a key: nn=NOXHJM(,2,.,p,f,u,n,c,)




Using this method, the command above would look like this (issue

DECODE to decode it):




XPLeNCODE v2.0

b-gin [UNTITLED]

cv "[BC_]"Func BC [Blank the command line]"[cr|lf][cr|lf]

-nd

XPLeNCODE




To do search and replace on functions in XPL, you can put the

functions in a BX...Q2 statement.  For example, the above command

would be:




XPLeNCODE v2.0

b-gin [UNTITLED]

[BX_]cv "[BC_]"Func BC [Blank the command line]"[Q2_];*;[cr|l

f][cr|lf]

-nd

XPLeNCODE




Search and replace on functions is discussed, with examples, in

BX.TXT.  It can be downloaded at the XyWWWeb site.
