Append To Word
Purpose
Enables a user to add text following a word.
Syntax
CTRL a
Description
This command places HP EDIT in Text Entry mode and enables you to add
text following the current word.
Command Process
When you issue this command, HP EDIT moves the cursor one column beyond
the word where the cursor is currently located, enabling you to add text.
All of the original text to the right of the append location shifts to
the right when you enter text. Consequently, if insufficient blank space
at the end of a line causes text to be shifted off the end of the line,
HP EDIT wraps the excess text onto the next line.
Word Definition
HP EDIT enables you to specify the type of characters that constitute an
HP EDIT word. There are four possible word definitions. You can specify
a definition other than the default value by changing the value of the
Word Category parameter from the Set Options screen.
The following word definition options are available:
[a-zA-Z0-9_'-] Words consist of upper and lowercase letters,
digits, underscores, apostrophes, and hyphens.
Words are separated by spaces and any
non-alphanumeric characters besides the underscore,
apostrophe, or hyphen. This is the default
definition.
[a-zA-Z0-9_] Words consist of upper and lowercase letters,
digits and underscores. Words are separated by
spaces and any non-alphanumeric characters besides
the underscore.
[a-zA-Z0-9] Words consists of upper and lowercase letters as
well as digits. Words are separated by spaces and
any non-alphanumeric characters.
[~ ] Words consist of any non-space characters separated
by spaces.
