Are you saying you know what the macro (that Wayne referred to) does? It's been a long time since I wrote any edit macros, but a quick peek at one of those that I have a copy of shows that (to make a specific change to all of a subset of lines) I typically used - a find command to find the first line of the subset (or something just before it), which I then labelled - a find command to find the final line of the subset (or something just after it), which I then labelled - a change command along the lines of change " one thing" "to another thing" .first .final all The point with this is that the searches for the first/final lines are done by the editor, not by the macro's own logic, and the change command likewise. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
