z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command ... - Christian Grothoff

vi
so[urce] file
Runs editor commands from file. A file being executed with source can
contain source commands of its own.
st[op] Suspends the editor session and returns to system level. For more
information, see the description of the vi command Ctrl-Z.
[.,.] s[ubstitute] [/pat/repl/] [options] [count] [flags]
Searches each line in the line range for the regular expression pat and
replaces matching strings with repl.
Normally, ex only replaces the first matching string in each line. If options
contains g [global], all matching strings are changed.
If options contains c [confirm], ex first prints the line with caret (^)
characters marking the pat matching location; you can then type y if you
want ex to go ahead with the substitution. pat cannot match over a line
boundary; however in ex mode, repl can contain a newline, escaped by a
preceding backslash (\). See Appendix C, “Regular Expressions (regexp),”
on page 885 for full information on both pat and repl. If there is no pat or
repl, ex uses the most recently specified regular expression or replacement
string. You can use any nonalphabetic character in place of the slash (/) to
delimit pat and repl.
su[spend]
This is synonymous with the stop command.
[.,.] t addr [flags]
This is synonymous with the copy command.
ta[g][!] tagname
Looks up tagname in the files listed in the variable tags. If the tag name is
found in a tags file, that file also contains the name of the file that contains
the tag and a regular expression required within that file to locate that tag. If
the given file is different from the one you are currently editing, ex normally
begins editing the new file. However, if you have modified the current file
since the last time it was written out, ex does not start editing a new file
unless the tag command contains an exclamation mark (!). If autowrite is
on, the current file is automatically written out and the new file read in.
When the new file is read in, the regular expression from the tags file is
invoked with the magic variable off.
Tag names are typically used to locate C function definitions in C source
files. The first step is to create a tags file using the ctags command. After
you do this, you can use the ex tag command to look up a particular
function definition and go directly to that definition in the file that contains it.
All characters in tag names are significant unless the variable taglength is
nonzero; in this case, only the given number of characters are used in the
comparison.
una[bbreviate] lhs
The abbreviation lhs previously created by abbreviate is deleted.
u[ndo]
776 z/OS V1R9.0 UNIX System Services Command Reference
Undoes the last change or set of changes that modified the buffer. Globals
and vi macros are both considered as single changes that can be undone.
A second undo undoes the undo restoring the previous state. The edit
command cannot be undone, because it cleans up the temporary file which
is used to maintain undo information. You cannot undo operating system
commands and commands that write output to the file system.
