Summary of Commands and Line Numbers
.H2
.PG
The general form of
.ul
ed
commands is the command name,
perhaps preceded by one or two line numbers, and,
in the case of
.ul
e, r
and
.ul
w,
followed by a file name.
Only one command is allowed per line,
but a
.ul
p
command may follow any other command
(except for
.ul
e, r, w
and
.ul
q).
.sp
.ul
a (append)
Add lines to the buffer (at line dot, unless
a different line is specified). Appending continues until ``\*.''
is typed on a new line.
Dot is set to the last line appended.
.sp 4p
.ul
c (change)
Change the specified lines to the new text which follows.
.li
The new lines are terminated by a ``\*.''.
If no lines are specified,
replace line dot.
Dot is set to last line changed.
.sp 4p
.ul
d (delete)
Delete the lines specified.
If none are specified, delete line dot.
Dot is set to the first undeleted line,
unless ``$'' is deleted,
in which case dot is set to ``$''.
.sp 4p

if you want to save them.

If a name follows
.ul

the remembered name will be set to it.

``---'', which can be any context search expression.
.sp 4p

will
substitute the characters of
`string2' for `string1' in specified lines.
If no line is specified, make substitution in line dot.

to change all of them, type a ``g'' after the final slash.
.sp 4p
.ul
v (exclude)
