Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the operability of sorting selection of a document creating device by utilizing the existing format setting function effectively, and specifying a field, record, key, etc., easily and speedily while looking at a document on the screen. CONSTITUTION:A field key setting part 13 reads a document out of an external storage device 16 and displays it on a display device 12, thereby performing setting and indication control over the range of sorting selection and record length on interactive basis with an operator. A format line 20 is displayed after key input for the indication control, and fields are set by using a tab key and a space key and are recognized; and setting information is stored in the common buffer in an internal memory. When a selection is made, a cursor is further set to recognize a character string as a key, and those pieces of information are passed to a record generation part 14. The generation part 14 reads a document in the objective range out of the external storage device 16 and develops the document into a line image to generate a record.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a document creation device having a note selection function.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

Conventionally, sorting and selecting functions have been essential in general-purpose computers, office converters, etc., but they are not common in so-called document creation devices that handle documents, such as word glossers, because there is no concept of record, and the above-mentioned Even with functions, it was difficult to specify fields, keys, etc., and only simple things could be done.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a document creation device that can easily and quickly perform sorting and selection operations on arbitrary documents.

[Summary of the invention] In the present invention, in a sentence Qf creation device, the existing former 2
This greatly improves the operability of Sort Sereno by making effective use of the document setting function and allowing you to easily and quickly specify fields, records, keys, etc. while visually viewing the document on the screen. It is.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1st
The figure shows one embodiment of the invention.

This is a diagram. In the figure, reference numeral 11 is a one-handed manual key device for specifying the sort/select range, record, field, key, etc. It has a movement key, a page call key, a selection/execution key, etc. Reference numeral 12 denotes a display device for displaying documents and input files.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a field key setting section which performs instruction control for setting note selection conditions in a conversational manner from the keyboard input device 1 while displaying a document on the display device I2. 14 is a record generator 1 that converts the document in the sort/select range into the fl k code format as shown in FIG.

Each of these setting information 1 is stored in the common bar 5 OK shown in the 51st page. In the case of select, move the cursor further, recognize the character string that is "-1", and record this information.

It is passed to the generation unit 14. The record generation unit 14 reads documents from the external storage device I6 to sort/select the target range.

It is long. 35 is the original take from the character string when the text is newly developed, with uniform allocation, shading, etc. (i1110-code removed), and 36 is the control code table that expresses the presence or absence of a control code for each digit in bits. Therefore, the record length is constant.

The sort/select processing unit 15 is the record generating unit 14
The key fields 34 of each record 30 generated in the above are compared, and the records are sorted in ascending order or descending order, or only the records that match the conditions are searched and classified. Here, the range that is not subject to sort/(K left) is also copied to a new document file. Figures 4 (a) and (b) are examples of the menu display when executing sort/select. You can specify the non-target range for sorting/selecting within a page using the double margin and bottom margin.

In this way, it is possible to specify the sort/select range while checking the document on the display device I2, and to set fields on the formr and sort line 20, making it highly applicable as a document creation device.

Easy-to-use sort/left functions can be realized. or,
Since key values can be set while scrolling the document, key specification can be done easily and quickly. Furthermore, it is possible to sort and rect documents with large area widths, mixed areas, and large number of pages, and the top and bottom margins can be specified for each page, allowing for highly flexible document creation.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the document creation device 41 can be provided that can easily and quickly perform sorting and selection operations on arbitrary documents.
