I have 56 files.
I put their names in a file called "The_List". Within each of those 56
files...
-- The first two lines must remain as they are
-- I want the rest of the lines to have their first 5 columns deleted.
The attached file (my vedit macro attempt) demonstrates an incompetent
method of trying to set a columnar block. In fact, I devised two whole
separate methods which don't work. (Thomas Edison would understand me)
Here are the specific eleven lines (three of which I slashed-out after
I saw that they significantly slowed the execution time)...
Column_Begin(Clear) // Forget any prior Columns
Column_Begin(Cur_Pos) // This column Starts here
// For(#1=1;(! At_EOF);#1++) // Move
// { // To
// Do_Visual("\CD\") // The
// } // End
EOF() // Move To The End
Do_Visual("\CU\") // Cursor up one
Do_Visual("\CR\\CR\\CR\\CR\\CR\") // Cursor over 5
Column_End(Cur_Pos) // Column stops here
Del_Block(Block_Begin,Block_End,COLUMN) // Delete that column
What do I change so that the column will be defined, so that I will be
able to delete the resulting (columnar) block ? Or maybe I should word
that question as, "Like, Huh ? How Come ?"
