edit

Open a file for edit.

Syntax

edit [proc] [filename]

Where:

proc	indicates the file should be processed after edit.
filename	specifies a filename.  See Filenames for details.

Discussion

The edit command opens the file name specified for edit. The default editor is "notepad.exe" but this can be overridden by specifying a different editor with the editor control variable. If the proc keyword is specified, then the file is automatically re-parsed (as if the user has typed "include nolist filename").

Example

Command input:

editor="c:\vslick\win\vs.exe"   // change editor to slick
cwd cmd\test                    // change working directory
edit proc fileio.cmd            // edit fileio.cmd and re-parse
