The CPU device 3 shown in FIG. 1 is provided with an editer starting means 4 for performing initial setting and the like, and a hierarchical edit means 5 for editing some files, and the hierarchical edit means 5 further includes a file selecting means 6 and an editing means. It comprises a layer end means 7 and a single layer edit means 8.

The file selection means 6 designates a file to be edited, the edit layer end means 7 completes the editing of each file, and the single layer edit means 8 carries out a normal edit process.

Then, the hierarchical editing means 5 interrupts the editing of the text file in operation, recognizes the character string of the designated text data in the text file in which the editing is interrupted as the text file name, and recognizes it. The text file corresponding to the text file name is edited, and the text file in which editing is interrupted is executed after the execution of the editing is completed.

Also, the number of lines added, changed, or deleted from the text file that has been edited is counted,
The counted lines are written to the text file where the editing was interrupted after the editing was completed.

Further, the specified text data is recognized as a text file name, the text file with the recognized text file name is opened, the file pointer and line counter of the text file currently being edited are stored in the table, and the hierarchy is set. Is advanced by one step, the recognized text file name is stored in the file name table, the file pointer and line counter are initialized, and the opened text file is selected as an edit target.

Next, the database according to the present invention will be described. The data of the database used in this embodiment includes the interface with the single-layer editter, the data for controlling the hierarchical editter, the hierarchical edit control key, and the data of the hierarchical editer starting method, which will be described in order.

A) Interface with the single layer editor 1. File switching flag (initial value: ON) 2. File name 3. File pointer (initial value: 0) 4. Key buffer 5. Additional row counter (initial value: 0) 6. Modified row counter (initial value: 0) 7. Deleted line counter (initial value: 0)

The file switching flag indicates that the single-layer editor is to edit a new file with "O".
Notify with a value of "N". The file name and key buffer are also notified to the single-level editor. The file pointer and the line counter (added line counter, modified line counter, deleted line counter) are updated by the single-layer editter by the editing process.

The file pointer indicates which character in the file the current cursor position is, and the line counter indicates how many lines have been added, modified, or deleted by editing. The data described above is used in both processing in the hierarchical and single-layer editers.

B) Hierarchical editor control data 1. Edit end flag (initial value: OFF) 2. Level number (initial value: 0) 3. File name table: 10 elements (0: 9) 4. File pointer storage table: 9 elements 5. Row (added row, modified row, deleted row) counter storage table: 9 elements

The edit end flag indicates the end of editing of all layers, and the level number indicates how many files are currently called. The file name table, the file pointer storage table, and the line counter storage table are tables for storing and saving the file name, file pointer, and line (added line, modified line, deleted line) counter when editing each file. ..

C) Hierarchical edit control key 1. Selection E
Dit) key 2. Selection End (Selection En
d) key 3. Cancel key 4. Exit key 5. Quit key

These are the five keys used for the hierarchical edit function. The selection edit key and the selection end key are keys for file selection,
It is a key for designating the character sandwiched between the cursor positions when the selection edit key and the selection end key are pressed as a file name to be newly edited. Then, when the selection end key is pressed, editing of a new file is started.

The cancel key is a key for canceling the selection edit. The exit key and the quiet key are keys for ending each edit level (step) and returning to the edit of the edit file of the called level (step). When the level is "0", the edit program is ended. The exit key is a key for writing the edited contents to the file before returning to the interrupted editing of the text file.

D) Data of hierarchical edit start method hed file name The text file corresponding to the specified file name is set to level "0" and editing is started.

Next, the processing of the text file editing device will be described. However, the processing of the single-layer editing function is the same as that of a normal editing device, and therefore its explanation is omitted. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the edit starting process. First, the file name is extracted from the command and stored, the data is initialized, the hierarchical editor is called, and the processing is terminated.

More specifically, when the editor is started, the file name obtained by the hierarchical editter starting method of d) described above is extracted, and the file name shown in 2 of a) and the file name table shown in 3 of b). Beginning of (address 0)
Set to and store.

Next, as data initialization, the file switching flag is set to "ON", the file pointer, the line counter (added line counter, modified line counter, deleted line counter), and the level number are set to "0", and the edit is performed. Turn off the end flag. Then, call the hierarchical editor.

Next, the hierarchical edit function processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. When a key is input from the keyboard device, it is determined whether the type of the input key is a key related to hierarchical editing, and if the other key is not related to hierarchical editing, single-level editing is performed and the file switching flag is set. Set to "OFF" and return to the first processing.

On the other hand, in the case of the selection / edit key of the keys related to the hierarchical edit, the file selection process is performed and the process returns to the first process. If it is an exit key, the data currently being edited is written to a file, the edit layer end processing is performed, and it is determined whether or not the edit end flag is "ON". If it is OFF, the processing returns to the first processing, and if it is ON, this processing ends. To do.

Further, if the key is the QUIT key, the edit layer end processing is performed, and it is judged whether or not the edit end flag is "ON". If it is OFF, the processing returns to the first processing, and if it is ON, this processing is ended.

Next, the file selection function processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is judged whether the level number is 9 or more and less, and if it is 9 or more, editing is not performed in a hierarchy of 9 or more. Therefore, the message "Edit level number over" is displayed, the selection edit key is invalidated, and the processing ends. To do.

On the other hand, if the level number is less than 9, the system waits for key input and determines the type of the input key. If the cancel key is entered here, the message "select cancel" is displayed and the select edit ends.

When the cursor key is input, the cursor is moved, when the delete key is input, the character before the current cursor position is deleted, when the character key is input, that character is displayed, and the other keys are input. Then, the input corresponding to the key is performed and the process returns to the key input waiting process. Therefore, the file name is input by using the cursor keys, the delete key, the character key, and other keys except the cancel key.

Then, when the selection end key is input, the character string between the cursor positions when the selection edit key and the selection end key are respectively pressed is recognized as a file name, and the file name is extracted, It is determined whether the file name is open or not.

If it is an open error, a message "file open error" is displayed and the process is terminated. If it is open OK, the file pointer and line counter (additional line counter, modified line counter, deleted line counter) currently being edited are stored in the file pointer storage table and line counter storage table of the current level, respectively.

Next, the level number is advanced by 1, and the file name is set (stored) in the file name table of the current level.
Display the file name etc. In other words, the file name at the level number-1 position from the level number / file name table is used as the call file name, and the file name that was successfully opened is displayed on the information line.

After that, the file switching flag is set to "ON" for new editing, the file pointer and the line counter (added line counter, modified line counter, deleted line counter) are set to "0" to initialize the data. Call the hierarchical editter to end the process.

Next, the edit layer end function processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is judged whether or not the level number is "0", and if it is "0", it means that the file is the first file to be edited, so the edit end flag indicating the end of all the processing of this edit is set to "ON" and processed. To finish.

On the other hand, the level number is not "0" (≠ 0)
At this time, the level number is decremented by 1 and it is determined whether or not the level number is "0". If the level number is "0", only the first file name in the file name table, that is, the file name currently being edited is displayed on the information line. If the level number is not "0" (≠ 0), the file name, call The file name and the level number, that is, the level number and the file name of the table corresponding to the level number are set as the current edit file name, and the previous file name on the table is displayed on the information line.

After that, the value stored in the table is returned to the file pointer, the text file corresponding to the file name is opened, and the line counter (added line counter, modified line counter, deleted line) is set at the position of the file pointer of the file. Counter) is written, the file switching flag is set to “ON”, the row counter stored in the table is returned, and this processing is ended.

Next, a display example will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the display screen of the editor. This screen 10
Is composed of an edit area 11 for displaying a text file and an information line 12 for displaying information necessary for hierarchical edit processing at the bottom line.

The information line 12 comprises a message display area 13, a level number display area 14, a calling file name display area 15 and a current file name display area 16, and the message display area 13 displays various messages such as errors. Then, the level number display area 14 displays a level number which is a number indicating how many times the file is called.

The calling file name display area 15 displays the calling file name that called the file that was being edited before the current editing, and the current file name display area 16 displays the file name currently being edited. To do.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen during hierarchical editing. In the middle of the editing area 11 of the screen 10, the cursor position CSa at the time of inputting the selection edit key
And the cursor position C at the time of inputting the selection end key
When the editing (editing) of the text file with the file name F specified by Sb is completed, the file name F
A row counter 17 composed of an added row counter n, a corrected row counter m, and a deleted row counter o is displayed behind.

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be listed. 1) You can start editing a new file without finishing editing the text file of the management ledger, and you can edit the target document file without inputting the file name to be newly edited, which simplifies the operation. Can be achieved.

2) Since an input error of the file name or omission of the input does not occur, the index of the document file can be accurately created. 3) Since many document files can be created and modified and the management ledger can be created as a continuous series of operations,
Work efficiency increases.

4) Since the amount of document creation and change can be easily grasped, the work load in the next process can be predicted. 5) It is possible to improve the accuracy of the plan by examining the amount of work estimated from the work load and the forecasted results of the plan.

[0054]

As described above, according to the text file editor and the file selecting method thereof according to the present invention, the operator mistakenly edits the file name of the document in the management ledger and the file name of the actual document. There is no need to enter the file name or to omit the file name, and it is easy to check how much the documents related to program maintenance work have been created and changed. It is possible to reduce the burden of editing the text file related to the maintenance work, and to efficiently perform the maintenance work of the program.
