I have a simple question about a XEDIT macro.
I have a macro that does a locate and select on some lines and then displays
the selected lines.
My question, is there a way to find the number of lines that have been selected
without counting them as I select them?
EXTRACT '/selectedlines/' doesn't seem to exist..
snipit:
do until rc ¬= 0 /* loop until locate fails (rc >
0) */
'command set select 1 1' /* set selection level 1 */
'command up 1' /* go back up one line
*/
'command locate /' machid '/' /* look for the rest
*/
end /* end of loop
*/
command set shadow off /* turn shadow display off */
command set display 1 1 /* display selected lines */
Thanks
