Overlay.vdm will overwrite or insert with an user supplied text string at a specific column for a certain # of lines.

Defaults to the current line for the starting line and the current column for the specified column.

Works great Scott! Nice work. And now, heheh since you're so accommodating, I have another request, actually two but related.

One would be to delete duplicate lines--that is, if there were two or more identical lines, the macro would leave only one. This would include duplicate blank lines.

Another would delete blank lines. Both, by option, could process the entire file, or lines within a block, or within a selectable number of lines down from the current line.

I should explain that here at work we use IBM's editor XEDIT, and our users have written lots of macros for it. Alas, it is soon going away, and so I'm pushing Vedit to colleagues.

And before you guys scold me, I am planning to learn Vedit macro programming Real Soon Now.

A couple of months ago i extracted the following lines from a macro
supplied by Greenview Data (don't rembember the name, sorry),
which do exactly what you want:

repeat(ALL) { //Search & delete duplicate lines
Search("^{.*}\N\1$",REGEXP+MAX+ERRBREAK)
Del_line()
}

Please note that this only deletes duplicate lines which immediately follow
each other, e.g. after sorting.

The code came from the e-email.vdm macro. Here is more of the relevant code:

//
// Sort e-mail addresses and remove duplicates.
//
Message("\nSorting e-mail addresses...")
Replace('"',"",REVERSE+ALL+NOERR) //Remove double-quotes
Sort(0,File_Size) //Sort entire file
//
Message("\nDeleting duplicate e-mail addresses...")
BOF
repeat(ALL) { //Search & delete duplicate lines
Search("^{.*}\N\1$",REGEXP+MAX+ERRBREAK)
Del_line()
}

Ted.

Yep! That does it. I named it Deldup.vdm. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. It is so nice to get feedback.

Sound easy enough, I will see what I can come up with. However I am fairly busy at the moment, so when is a big ? mark.

The first thing you need to do is write a Xedit.key file for Vedit. That would help your sales efforts.

Xedit, being a mainframe editor, had no "hot keys" - i.e. you had to hit ENTER for anything to take effect. The only thing close was the F keys. However, these could be redefined by the user. So, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any real way to do this.
