October 1, 1979 FRESS COMMANDS LOCATE
Travel
NOTES _____
• When the pattern scan is in the forward direction, it looks
second first at the ______ character in the editing buffer. This
allows five consecutive LOCATES to find five different
occurences of <lit> (see WARNING below for an exception).
• If <lit> is not specified, it will default from the last LOCATE
variant (of any form), and the resulting LOCATE is subject to
the following:
• The new variant of LOCATE is concatenated with the last
to determine the type of pattern scan.
• Once the search is going "backwards", it can't be
switched to a forward direction, without respecifying
<lit> (e.g., a "ll" that follows a "lb/dog", will have
the effect of a "llb/dog").
• Ellipses may be used to specify <lit>, but will use
considerably more execution time.
WARNINGS ________
• If Hypertext is at the beginning of the editing buffer, the
first editor will probably start searching with the _____ character
rather than the second character. Thus, five consecutive
LOCATEs will find the same occurence five times.
not • Line and Character Displacements (see Section 5.2) must ___ be
used with this command.
• A LOCATE using the "L" modifier is liable to be expensive if
the file is large.
MULTIWINDOW ___________
• The pattern scan will be done in the current window unless
another window is specified.
MESSAGES ________
INVALID PATTERN, TRY AGAIN
NO SAVED PATTERN
PATTERN NOT FOUND, EO AREA
PATTERN NOT FOUND, EO COUNT
TOO LONG CANNOT ADD HEADER
UN LIGHTPENNABLE TEXT
