JPH03250248A - Editing method for text image file - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To save labor for switching display and to make an editing object to be easily known by executing cut and paste for moving an arbitrary partial character string to an arbitrary place between plural windows while respectively displaying the text images of the plural files in the plural windows. CONSTITUTION:When a cut range 24 on a window A is cut and pasted onto a window B, as a position to be pasted onto the window B, the position of a mouse cursor 25 is selected when clicking the button of a mouse 13 on the window B. At such a time, contents shown by the cut range 24 on the window A are pasted onto the window B. Therefore, the cut and paste can be executed between the files by the display in the plural windows. Thus, the labor for switching display is saved and the editing object is made easy to be known.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a method for editing text image files on a computer system.

[Prior Art] In a conventional method for editing text image files of this type, files to be edited are switched by switching displays within the same window.

Cutting and pasting between files is also performed by switching the display within the same window.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional text image file editing method described above, cutting and pasting between files is also performed by switching displays within the same window, which takes time and effort to switch displays. Another drawback was that it was difficult to understand what was being edited.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to eliminate the trouble of display switching and to make it easier to understand the editing target. To achieve this purpose, we provide a means for controlling multiple windows, a means for displaying text images of multiple files in each of multiple windows, and a means for cutting and pasting any substring to any location. It is configured as follows.

[Operation] In the text image file editing method with the above configuration, text images of multiple files are displayed in each of multiple windows, and a cut-and-back operation is performed in which an arbitrary substring is moved to an arbitrary location between the multiple windows. By pasting, it does not take much effort to switch the display, and it becomes easier to understand what is being edited.

[Example] Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a text editor using the text image file editing method according to the present invention.

The text editor 1 includes a text editing section 3 that performs text editing, a window control section 2 that controls the window on the display 11, and a display 11 that controls the text image of the file to be edited with the window control section 2. It consists of a text image display section 4 that is displayed in the upper window, an input event management section 5 that manages input events from the keyboard 12 and mouse 13, and a 7719110 section 6 that inputs and outputs files to be edited. .

The text editing section 3 includes a cut processing section 7 and a paste processing section 7 for cutting and pasting.
e) A processing unit 8 is included.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show examples of execution of a text editor using the text image file editing method according to the present invention.

2 and 3, a window A and a window B are displayed on the display screen of the display 11. In FIGS. These windows A and B display text images of separate files.

FIG. 3 is a diagram of the state when the cut range 24 on window A shown in FIG. 2 is cut and pasted on window B. The pasting position on window B is the position of the mouse cursor 25 when the button of the mouse 13 is clicked on window B.

At this time, since the content indicated by the cut range 24 on window A is pasted on window B, it is possible to execute cut and paste between files by displaying multiple windows.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a text editor using the text image file editing method according to the present invention.

In FIG. 4, when the program starts, a file to be edited is input in step 110, and a file to be edited is input in step 120.
Display as many windows as you need.

In step 130, the text image of the input file is displayed on the displayed window and editing processing begins. In the editing process, an editing command is first input (
Step 140).

In FIG. 4, the editing commands include cut, which is related to the present invention.
Only four types, Paste, Edit Range Setting, and End, are displayed, and the others are omitted.

If the command input in step 140 is a cut command, the specified cut contents are saved in the cut buffer (step 160), the cut is executed (step 170), and the process returns to step 140. To specify the cut range that will be the cut content, use the edit range setting (step 200).
).

When the command input in step 140 is paste, the paste position is input in step 180, and the contents of the cut buffer saved in step 160 are pasted in step 190. At this time, if the window in which the cut was executed and the window in which the paste was executed are different, cut and paste between files will be executed.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention provides a means for controlling multiple windows, a means for displaying text images of multiple files in each of multiple windows, and a means for displaying text images of multiple files in each of multiple windows, and displaying arbitrary substrings in arbitrary locations. It is arranged to provide cut and paste means for moving to.

With this configuration, text images from multiple files are displayed in each of multiple windows, and displays can be switched by cutting and pasting to move arbitrary substrings to arbitrary locations between multiple windows. The editing target can be easily understood without requiring much time and effort.
