Not necessarily. If you xedited a file which is still
out on disk, you
can get the complete file back by:
ALL
:0 DELETE *
get = = =
optional: TOP or :0 or other positioning as desired.
Or: just QQ and xedit fn ft fm again.
If the file you are looking at is a reader file that you
PEEK'd,
just QQ and PEEK the same file again.
What I meant is that XEDIT has no sequence as simple as:
EXCLUDE ALL
FIND wombat ALL
... looking at the display, I decide I want to see
additional
lines, so I:
FIND xyzzy ALL
... now I see the lines containing wombat and/or xyzzy for
a
single additional command with a single target. I once
wrote
an XEDIT macro to do this, but I believe the supplied ALL
XEDIT
doesn't do anything close.
Most of what I know of XEDIT is from my use of
KEDIT. Doesn't XEDIT have the MORE command?
