BLOKEDIT Examples

The following are examples of the BLOKEDIT utility:

Example 1:

BLOKEDIT ,ABC.TXT -O

Create or overwrite file 'ABC.TXT'. A search of all search paths is performed. The system then prompts for instructions. Suppose these instructions are entered from the keyboard:

MYFILE

51-67

43-50

E:YOURFILE

1-23

"

THIS IS LINE 1 FROM THE KEYBOARD

THIS IS LINE 2 FROM THE KEYBOARD

"

C:OLDFILE.ABC

1-30

*

ABC.TXT would then contain 25 lines from MYFILE.TXT, 23 lines from E:YOURFILE.TXT, 2 lines from the keyboard and 30 lines from C:OLDFILE.ABS.

Example 2:

BLOKEDIT COMMAND,ABC.TXT -O

Create or overwrite file 'ABC.TXT' as above. The instructions are retrieved from the command file (COMMAND.TXT) rather than being keyed by the operator.
