If I wanted to comment out 25 lines in the Universe ED, I could go to
the first line I wanted to change and type in the following command:
C//*/25 and it would throw a * at the beginning of the next 25 lines.

If I wanted to change the name ABCDEFG to HIJKLMN everywhere in the
program I could go to the top and type : C/ABCDEFG/HIJKLMN/G9999999999
and it would change every occurence of ABCDEFG to HIJKLMN in the
program.

For one or 2 lines it's not bad, but when it's 150 or more it is a pain
to do each separately.

I can't find a way in JED to do either. I am considering writing a
program to prompt me for the first line number and the command to
perform, then call it from the command prompt. The downfall to this is
finding a way to access the program while I have it locked in the
Editor, then updating it and refreshing my screen with the updated
program.

Am I missing something? Anyone have an idea? I'd appreciate them all.

Thanks

David,

Yes you can use the JED editor to do this. You need to use the Block
commands of JED. Look at the documentation on the jBASE website for
this:

FYI, jBASE does have its own forum on Google. You may get a better
response.
