Using control characters in a SUBMIT file
|
|
-----
|

|
|
Question: How do I enter control characters into a SUBMIT file?
|
|
The instructions on page 28 of the CP/M manual do not seem to work.
|
|
|
|
Answer: SUBMIT requires you to enter '^z' to place a CTRL Z in the
|
|
file. The problem comes in that SUBMIT also converts all characters to
|
|
uppercase. The following patch suggested by Digital Research will modify
|
|
SUBMIT to require '^Z'.

This alternate patch will allow lowercase characters to be entered
|
|
which is also extremely helpful when using XSUB and ED with strings that
|
|
require lowercase characters.

The following example submit file (using only the alternate patch)
|
|
uses ED to search a file and replace all lowercase strings 'recieve' with
|
|
'receive'.
|
|
|
|
xsub
|
|
ed file.doc
|
|
#a
|
|
b#srecieve^zreceive
|
|
e
|
|
|
|
It should be mentioned that in no case can the control characters
|
|
'^P' or '^C' be used in a submit file to obtain the normal functions of
|
|
console input for printer toggle or warm start.
