NOVICE SUBSET OF TECO

These commands allow you to do most common editing
jobs on all versions of TECO .
MAKE file

Creates a new file (under RT· 11, use
CREATE command)
TECO file
Edits an existing file (under RT-11 ,
use EDIT command)
J
Moves pointer to beginning of buffer
ZJ
Moves pointer to end of buffer
L
Advances pointer to beginning of next
line
nl
Advances pointer n lines
Moves pointer back n lines
- nl
OL
Moves pointer to beginning of current
line
c
Advances pointer across one
character
Advances pointer across n characters
nC
- nC
Moves pointer backwards across n
characters
Types text from current pointer
T
position to end of current line
Types n lines on terminal
nT
HT
Types entire content of text buffer
Types current line
OTT

Itext$
position
K
Deletes text from current pointer
position to end of line
nK
Deletes n Ii nes of text
HK
Deletes entire content of text buffer
Deletes the character following the
D
pointer
Deletes n characters after the pointer
nD
- nD
Deletes n characters before the pointer
p
Outputs the current page and reads in
the next page
nP
Executes the P command n times
A
Append the next input page to the
end of the buffer
Moves the remainder of the input file
EX
to the output file, closes the output
file, and exits from TECO
Beginning at the current pointer posiStext$
tion, searches for the specified text on
the current page. The buffer pointer
is positioned after the specified text if
it is found. If the text is not found, an
error message is given and the buffer
pointer is left at the beginning of the
page
Ntext$
Same as Stext$ except that the search
continues across page boundaries, if
necessary, until the string or the end
of the input file is encountered
FStext 1$text2$ Searches for text1 and, if found,
replaces it with text2

[1]

Re-executes last TECO command. Ignores
filespec2, if present on p revious command

[2)

/TECO switch not necessary if SET EDITOR
T ECO command has been previously specified

(3)

SF D's allowed in TOPS -10

(4)

Re-executes last MAKE command

[5)

TECO under RSTS/ E and OS/ 8 requires two

@ s. @ is not an immediate mode

command in RT -11 and RSX- 11
(6)

TE C0- 10 types the last 10 characters of the
command string before the error occurred

(7)

Not an immediate mode command in TEC0 -10
(execution is deferred until next wake-up char-

acter) . In TE C0 -8, the immediate mode
command

@ is the ~me as * Z

(8)

Two
s ma y be necessary on systems that
support type -ahead

(9)

Only if feature is enabled in the operating system

(10]

TEC0 -10 closes any previous file.

( 11)

Not in RSTS. TEC0-10 does not require $

[ 12]

On TE C0-11 , t Cina macro return s control to

TECO's prompt
(13]

TE C0 -10 has no genera l octal radix mode

( 14]

In TEC0-10, a space between two numbers also
acts as an addition

(15]

TEC0 -10 prints signed result; TEC0-8 and
TE C0 -11 print unsigned result

[ 16)

On TEC0 -10, nA is the same as DA

(17)

Must immediately follow search in TEC0 -11

( 18]

Cannot jump to before start of current iteration

in TE C0 -8 or TEC0 -11
(19)

T EC0-10 stores either text or numeric data (but
not both simultaneously) in a single area within

[20]

Same as 1%q in TEC0 -10

th e a -register

(2 1)

Arguments "pass through " this command in

TEC0 -11
(22]

On TE C0-10, no case flagging occurs if the
terminal supports lower case, regardless of

state of EU f lag
(23)
(24]

T EC0-10 uses only bit value 1, TEC0 -8 uses only
bit values 1, 2, and 8
In TEC0 -10, I 0 must be fo llowed by a digit
string and the octa l radix mode app lies only to
this string

(25]

TEC0 -10 allows begin of buffer, ., $, and % to
match

(26]

Cannot quote$ on TEC0-10
