Reference numeral 7 is a key control unit for converting a key signal from the keyboard 6 into a code signal. 8 and executes a document data transfer / edit the document memory 3, performs the function of determining the specified search string from the buffer memory 5, and controls the flag F ₁ and calls for write control of the document data to the buffer memory 5 A flag F ₂ , a flag F _{3 for} controlling writing of document data to the search character string storage memory 4 and a flag F _{4 for} calling control, an address counter P ₁ of the buffer memory 5 for setting an address for storing document data, a search character string It is an edit control unit including an address counter P ₂ of the storage memory 4.

A display device 9 displays the document data stored in the display memory 11. Reference numeral 10 is a display control unit for displaying the display data stored in the display memory 11 on the display device 9. A display memory 11 stores document data to be displayed on the display device 9.

FIG. 2 shows an example of setting a search character string in the document edit mode. M is a control code indicating that the next character is the beginning of the search character string, N is a control code indicating that the search character string is up to the character, and L is a search character string specified by M and N. FIG. 3 is a storage example when the document data set in the search character string from the data storage device 1 is stored in the buffer memory 5. The document data transferred from the data storage device 1 is stored in word units from the document data storage start address xxx0 of the buffer memory 5. The third character is a control code corresponding to M, the eleventh character is a control code corresponding to N, and the fourth to tenth characters are search character strings corresponding to L.

The respective components shown in FIG. 1 operate according to the flowchart of FIG. That is, when a document file whose content is to be retrieved from the data storage device 1 by the keyboard 6 is selected by the document file content retrieval key of the keyboard 6, the specific operation shown in FIG. 4 is executed. That is, the following operation is performed.

Steps 101 → 102: The address counter P ₁ of the buffer memory 5 is set to the document data storage start address A _1, and the flag F ₁ for setting the buffer memory 5 to the writable state is set.

Step 103 → 106: All the document data of the designated document file is transferred from the data storage device 1 to the buffer memory 5, and the transfer end identification data X is stored at the address next to the final stored document data.

Step 107: The flag F ₁ is reset in order to set the buffer memory 5 in the write-protected state.

Steps 108 → 109: The call start address of the buffer memory 5 is set to the document data storage start address A ₁ , the search character string storage memory 4 is set to the storage start address A ₂ , and the buffer memory 5 can be called. The flag F ₂ for setting to is set.

Step 110 → 119: It is determined whether the data stored in order from the address set in step 108 is M by incrementing the address pointer P ₁ by ₁ . When M is determined, a flag F ₃ that sets the search character string storage memory 4 to a writable state is set, and M is set.
The subsequent document data is stored in the search character string storage memory 4 until N is determined. When N is determined, the flag F ₃ is reset and the search character string storage memory 4 is set to the write-protected state. The above operation is repeated until the transfer end identification data X stored in the buffer memory 5 is determined.

Step 120: Step 117 or 11
When the determination is completed for all the document data in 9 and the storage of the search character string in the search character string storage memory 4 is completed, the buffer memory 5 is prohibited from being called by the flags F ₂ and F ₃ , and the search character string storage memory 4 is Set write-protected status.

Step 121 → 127: When the address pointer P _{2 of the} search character string storage memory 4 is the head address A _2, it means that there is no search character string, and in step 126, the display device 9 indicates that there is no search character string. A message is displayed and the search character string calling process ends. Address pointer P
_{If 2} is changed, it means that the search character string is stored. In step 122, the search character string storage memory 4 is set to the callable state by the flag F ₄ . Next, the search character string data is transferred from the search character string storage memory 4 to the display memory 11, and the search character string is displayed on the display device 9 according to the display format. If there is an undisplayed character string in step 124, then in step 125, the keyboard 6 is used to instruct whether to display the undisplayed character string. When displaying the undisplayed character string, the undisplayed search character data is transferred from the search character string storage memory 4 to the display memory 11. Step 1
If there is no undisplayed data at 24, or step 12
When it is not necessary to display the undisplayed character string in 5, the retrieval character string storage memory 4 is set to the calling prohibited state by the flag F ₄ , and the retrieval character string calling process is ended.

[0021]

According to the present invention, in the document data confirmation function of the present invention, when the operator confirms the contents of the document data stored in the document data storage means, the retrieval target control is performed from the document data to be confirmed. Since only the marked character strings are all displayed, by specifying the main part (item name etc.) in the document data as the search target character string in advance, the contents of the entire document data can be seen in the table of contents. The effect that can be confirmed by feeling is obtained.
