Abstract

PURPOSE:To continuously execute the retrieving, writing, substituting, and deleting or adding processing of table format data by one command by providing the table format data retrieving processing system with a command processing part including a command discriminating means, a retrieving processing confirming means, a selecting/specifying/confirming means, and so on. CONSTITUTION:The command processing part 2 is provided with the command discriminating part 2a, the retrieving processing confirming part 2b, the cabinet/ binder/page selecting/specifying/confirming part 2c, a retrieving character string confirming part 2d, a table format data input contents confirming part 2e, and a write/substitute/delete/insert confirming part 2f. Table format data are stored in a data storage part 3 by hierarchical structure such as a cabinet 3a, a binder 3b and a page 3c and the processing of the table format data is executed by an interactive format in each binder 3b or in each page unit consisting of plural pages 3c. Consequently, the retrieving processing and data processing such as writing, substituting, and deletion/insertion of the table format data for plural pages can be executed only by one command.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Problems with the Prior Art) A data structure is stored as multiple pages (pages), and data processing is performed between the multiple pages. Search processing is performed on character strings of tabular data. or when writing data into the tabular data, execute commands (hereinafter referred to as "commands") for each of search processing, slaughter, replacement, deletion, or insertion. Each had to be executed individually by inputting via a dou board, muffs, or other input means. Therefore, conventionally, when searching, writing, replacing, deleting, or inserting a single piece of tabular data, first input the command for the search process when searching the data and execute the search process. , Next, when writing, replacing, deleting, or inserting data, enter each command and execute the process.
It was a step-by-step process. Therefore, in conventional processing methods, data processing is performed by specifying the "row" and "column" to write, replace, delete, or insert data into tabular data after searching. There was a problem in that the processing work of tabular data became complicated, such as having to perform separate operations.

(Objective of the Invention) Therefore, the present invention provides a single command for searching, writing, replacing, deleting, or inserting a single tabular data whose data structure is stored as multiple pages and data processing is performed between the multiple pages. The purpose is to provide a search processing method for tabular data to be processed.

(Structure of the Invention) The present invention provides tabular data to be processed interactively in a hierarchical structure of cabinets, binders, and pages, and includes at least (&) command discrimination means; and (b) means for confirming the range to be searched. (e) means for checking whether any one of the cabinet, bay 7, or binder has been selected; and (d) means for checking whether any one of writing, replacement, deletion, and insertion has been selected. It is characterized by continuously searching, writing, replacing, deleting, or inserting tabular data consisting of a hierarchical structure of cabinets, binders, and pages to be processed in an interactive manner through a command processing means comprising: do.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the data structure of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a display screen according to the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a keyboard, 2 is a command processing section, 2a is a command discrimination section,
2b is a search processing confirmation section, 2c is a binder, page selection specification confirmation section, 2d is a search string confirmation section, 2e is a tabular data input content confirmation section, and 2" is whether writing, replacement, deletion, or insertion. 3 is a data storage section, 3a is a douyabinet section, 3b is a binder section, 3c is a page section, 4 is a display device, 4a is a display screen, 4b is a prompt display section, and 5 is a printer. As shown in FIG. 2, the present invention stores tabular data displayed on a display screen 4a in a data storage unit 3 such as a RAM, a node disk, or a 70 disk (cabinet) 3m, a binder 3b, and a page 3c. One cabinet 3a has a plurality of binders 3b, and one binder 3b has a plurality of pages 3C. Data processing is performed interactively in units of binders 3b or pages 3c, and data is stored in cabinets.
3a and binder 3b and page 3c as a hierarchical structure.

Next, an example of the operation of tabular data according to the present invention will be explained based on FIG. First, the operator follows the prompt ([Please input command] (see Figure 3)) displayed on the prompt section 4b of the display screen 4a, and then
Process the tabular data displayed on the screen by inputting commands, other symbols, or numerical values in an interactive manner.

That is, when a specific command is first entered into the tabular data displayed on the display screen 4a to the hierarchically structured binder 3b and page 3C, the prompt displayed on the display screen 4a (see FIG. (Reference) are sequentially displayed so that desired processing results can be obtained through interaction with the operator, and data processing is executed.

(1) Confirm the range to be searched.

(2) Check whether there is a selection specification for either a binder or a page.

(3) Confirm the search string.

(4) Confirmation whether writing, replacement, deletion, or insertion has been selected.

(5) If the operator specifies "replacement" in (4), confirm the replacement string.

(6) If the operator specifies "delete" in (4), check which of "Cell J, Row J, Column J" in the table format is specified.

In the case of "insert" in (7H4), E in the table format
Check whether it is specified as row or column.

That is, as a starting point for processing execution, the operator inputs a specific command via the keyboard, mouse, or other input unit 1. In this embodiment, the command "sMJ" is input from the keyboard 1. Then, a prompt is displayed on the display screen 4a so that data can be processed and processed in an interactive manner, and the following steps are performed: (1) Confirm the search range; (2) ) Check whether any of the cabinet section 3a, buying section 3b, and page g3c is specified.If the buying section 3b is specified, the buying section 3b is targeted for search processing.The page section 3c If specified and spans multiple pages, search processing is performed on multiple pages of tabular data. (3) Check the search string. (4
) Check the data input. (5) Check whether writing, replacement, deletion, or insertion has been specified. (6) If "replace" is specified in (5), check the character string to be replaced. f@ direction,
If "Delete" is specified in (5), the cell,
Further check the specification of either row or column. Furthermore, if "insert" is specified in (5), a prompt is displayed on the display screen 4a sequentially, such as specifying a row or a column, for the operator to confirm and prompt the operator for instructions. , process data interactively with prompts while envisioning desired processing results.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention has the above configuration, it is possible to realize search processing and data processing of writing, replacement, deletion, and insertion with one command for tabular data between multiple pages.
