In such a system configuration, each process of long sentence editing according to this embodiment will be described below.

[Display Processing of Long Text Editing Screen] Display processing of the long text editing screen will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is checked whether or not the mode is for simultaneously displaying two documents (step 201). Whether the mode is a mode for displaying two documents at the same time (hereinafter referred to as a half screen mode) or a mode for displaying one of two documents at a time (hereinafter referred to as a full screen mode) is determined by a display flag. Judge by content. If not in the half-screen mode, the document data to be edited is displayed on the entire screen (step 203),
The display processing ends.

In the half screen mode, the contents of the document data area to be edited and the contents of the document data area not to be edited are exchanged (step 202). By this replacement process, the document data that is not to be edited enters the document data area to be edited, and the document data to be edited enters the document data area that is not to be edited.

Next, whether the object to be edited is document 1 or document 2
Is checked (step 204). In this embodiment, a document on the upper side of the screen is a document 1 and a document on the lower side of the screen is a document 2.
Whether the edit target is document 1 or document 2 is determined based on the content of “edit target document No. work”.
If the edit target is document 1, the content of document 2 is displayed in the lower half of the screen since the data of document 2 is contained in the edit target document data area (step 205). Conversely, if the edit target is document 2, the content of document 1 is displayed in the upper half of the screen here because the data of document 1 is contained in the edit target document data area (step 206).

Next, the screen is returned to the original state by performing the data exchange processing again (step 207). Subsequently, it is determined whether the edit target is the document 1 or the document 2 (step 208). If the object to be edited is document 1, since the data of document 1 is contained in the document data area to be edited, the contents of document 1 are displayed in the upper half of the screen here (step 20).
9), end the display processing. If the edit target is the document 2, the content of the document 2 is displayed in the lower half of the screen because the data of the document 2 is contained in the edit target document data area (step 210), and the display process is performed. finish.

[Half Screen / Full Screen Switching Process] The half screen / full screen switching process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is checked whether or not the mode is a mode for simultaneously displaying two documents (step 301). If the mode is the half-screen mode, the display mode flag is changed to the "full-screen" mode (step 302). , If in full screen mode "
The mode is changed to the "half screen" mode (step 303). Thereafter, the display processing shown in FIG. 3 is performed to complete the half screen / full screen switching processing. FIG. 5 shows the change of the display screen corresponding to the switching processing. It is shown.

[Display Ratio Changing Process] The display ratio changing process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. First, it is checked whether or not the mode is a mode for displaying two documents at the same time (step 401). If the mode is the full-screen mode, the process ends without performing any processing. In the case of the half-screen mode, it is checked whether the display of the upper or lower document is specified to be enlarged (step 402). It is checked whether it is larger (step 403). The display line numbers of the document 1 and the document 2 are determined based on the contents of the document 1 display line number work and the document 2 display line number work. That is, if the number of lines of the document 2 is 1 or less, the display range in the column direction of the document 2 cannot be reduced any more, and the process ends without performing any processing.

If the number of lines in the document 2 is larger than 1, data replacement processing is first performed (step 404), and then it is determined whether the edit target is the document 1 or the document 2 (step 405). . If the edit target is document 1, the content of document 2 is included in the edit target document data area.
Subtract the value of document 2 display line number work by "1" (step 40)
6) The display of the number of display lines is performed from the position counted from the lower end of the screen by the value of the display line number work (step 40).
7).

Conversely, if the edit target is document 2, since the contents of document 1 are contained in the edit target document data area, the value of the work of displaying one document line is increased by "1" (step 408). Display is performed for the number of display lines from the upper end of the screen (step 409).

Subsequently, the data exchange processing is performed again (step 410), and it is checked whether the editing target is document 1 or document 2 (step 411). If the object to be edited is document 1, since the contents of document 1 are contained in the document data area to be edited, the value of document 1 display line number work is increased by "1" (step 412), and the number of display lines from the top of the screen The minute is displayed (step 413), and the display ratio changing process ends.

If the edit target is the document 2, the value of the document 2 display line number work is reduced by "1" because the content of the document 2 is contained in the edit target document data area (step 1).
414), display is performed for the number of display lines from the position above the bottom of the screen by the number of display lines (step 415), and the display ratio change process ends.

The processing when document 1 is enlarged and document 2 is reduced has been described above. The same applies to the processing when document 1 is reduced and document 2 is enlarged (see steps 416 to 428). . FIG. 8 shows a change in the display screen corresponding to the screen display ratio changing process.

[All Copy Processing] The whole copy processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
For convenience of explanation, a process in the case where the contents of document 1 are fully copied to document 2 will be described. First, it is determined whether the edit target is the document 1 or the document 2 (step 501). If the object to be edited is document 1, the entire contents of the document data area to be edited are copied to the document data area that is not to be edited (step 502), so that the contents of document 2 become equal to the contents of document 1. By performing the display processing of steps 201 to 210 shown in (1), the entire copying processing ends.

If the object to be edited is document 2, all the contents of the document data area not to be edited are copied to the document data area to be edited (step 503).
Since the contents of the document 2 are equal to the contents of the document 1, the display processing of steps 201 to 210 shown in FIG.
All copying processing ends. FIG. 10 shows the change of the display screen corresponding to the above-mentioned all copying process.

[All Replacement Process] The entire replacement process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, it is determined whether the edit target is the document 1 or the document 2 (step 601). If the edit target is document 1, "
Edit target document No. By changing the contents of the "work" to the document 2 (step 602), the contents of the document data area to be edited, which was the document 1, are regarded as the document 2, so that the display processing of steps 201 to 210 in FIG. Is performed, the entire replacement process ends.

If the object to be edited is document 2, the content of "edit object No. work" is changed to document 1 (step 603), and the display processing of steps 201 to 210 in FIG. , The entire replacement process ends. FIG.
Reference numeral 2 denotes a change in the display screen corresponding to the above all replacement process. FIGS. 13 and 14 show the contents stored in the RAM corresponding to the above-described all-permutation processing.

[Reshuffling Process] Reshuffling means a change in a seam. Therefore, the re-switching process described later means the seam changing process, and the re-switching designated position means the joint changing designated position. FIG. 15 shows the shuffling process.
This will be described according to the flowchart of FIG. Document 1 is a first document and document 2 is a second document. First, a case in which the document 2 is subjected to shuffling processing will be described.

It is checked whether the object to be edited is document 1 or document 2 (step 701). When the edit target is the document 2, the document data from the cursor position to the end of the sentence in the document 2 is shuffled and saved in the processing buffer 1 (step 702), and then the document data from the cursor position to the end of the sentence is deleted (step 702). 703), the cursor is moved to the beginning of the remaining document (step 704).

Next, after the document data from the cursor position to the end of the sentence of the remaining document is shuffled and copied to the processing buffer 2 (step 705), the document data from the cursor position to the end of the sentence is deleted (step 706).

As a result of the processing up to this point, the contents of the shuffling processing buffer 2 are the contents from the specified shuffling position to the end of the sentence if the editing target is document 1, and are cut from the beginning of the sentence if the editing target is document 2. It will be the contents up to the position specified before the correction.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the edit target is the document 1 or the document 2 (step 707). If the edit target is the document 2, the contents of the shuffling processing buffer 1 are inserted into the cursor position (step 707). 708). That is, the saved document 2 is restored. Next, data exchange is performed (step 709), and it is checked whether the editing target is document 1 or document 2 (step 710).

If the object to be edited is document 1, since the contents of document 2 are contained in the document data area to be edited, the cursor is moved to the beginning of document 2 (step 711), and the buffer 2 for re-shearing is processed. Is inserted into the cursor position (step 713), and the data exchange process is performed again (step 714), thereby completing the reshuffling process.

If the object to be edited is document 2, since the contents of document 1 are contained in the document data area to be edited, the cursor is moved to the end position of the sentence of document 1 (step
712), after inserting the contents of the shuffling processing buffer 2 (contents from the beginning of the sentence to the position immediately before the designated shuffling position) at the cursor position (step 713), perform the data swapping process again (step 714). The repair process ends. FIG. 16 shows the change of the display screen corresponding to the reshuffling process in the document 1, and FIG.

[Print Processing of Long Text Edit Document] The print processing of a long text edit document will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. For convenience, a description will be given of a process in a case where document 1 is a first document and document 2 is a second document.

First, it is checked whether the document to be edited is document 1 or document 2 (step 801). If it is document 2, the contents of the document data area to be edited and the contents of the document data area not to be edited are replaced. As a result (step 802), the data of the document 1 enters the edit target document data area. Subsequently, by performing a printing process, the document 1 is printed first. Specifically, "Page No. Printed content"
Page No. An initial value "1" is set to a work indicating what the number to be printed is (step 803).
The printing process of the page is performed (step 804), and the value of “page No. print content” is incremented by “1” (step 805).
It is determined whether there is a next page (step 806). If YES, the printing process for the next page is performed (step 807).
Return to 805.

If there is no next page in the document 1, the contents of the document data area to be edited are exchanged with the contents of the document data area not to be edited (step 808), so that the data of the document 2 enters the document data area to be edited. Subsequently, the printing process is performed, that is, the printing process of the first page of the document 2 is performed (step 809), and the printing process of the next page is performed similarly to the above (steps 810 to 812).

Here, it is checked whether the document to be edited is document 1 or document 2 (step 813). If it is document 1, the contents of the document data area to be edited and the contents of the document data area not to be edited are exchanged (step 813). In step 814), the data of the original document enters the edit target document data area, and the print processing of the long-form edited document ends. As a result, continuous printing of the document 1 and the document 2 becomes possible, and the page numbers of both documents can be serialized.

[Editing of long document] Search and replace of long document, unification of style, spell check,
The processing of unifying the format and unifying the tabs will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. Document 1 is first for convenience
In the case where the document is the second document and the document 2 is the second document, processing will be described.

First, search and replace, stylistic unification, spell checking, and
Perform each process of unifying formats and unifying tabs. That is, in the case of search and replacement processing (step 901), search and replacement processing is performed on data after the cursor position of the document to be edited (step 902).
903), stylistic unification processing is performed on data after the cursor position of the document to be edited (step 904), and if spell check processing is to be performed (step 905), spell checking is performed on data after the cursor position of the document to be edited. The processing is performed (step 906), and if it is the format unification processing (step 90)
7), format unification processing is performed on data after the cursor position of the document to be edited (step 908), and if tab unification processing is performed (step 909), tab unification is performed on data after the cursor position of the document to be edited Processing is performed (step 910).

Subsequently, whether the object to be edited is document 1 or document 2
Is checked (step 911), and if the object to be edited is document 2, the process ends. If the edit target is document 1, the contents of the edit target document data area and the contents of the non-edit target document data area are exchanged (step 912).
In other words, after putting the contents of the document 2 in the edit target document data area, the cursor is moved to the head of the sentence (step 913), and each processing is performed on the document 2 (steps 914 to 923). As a result, it is possible to continue the contents of the editing process for the document 1 and the document 2.

It should be noted that the editing contents of the document 1, for example, the setting contents such as a search character string and a replacement character string in the case of search and replacement are held in the editing buffer, and are set at the time of editing processing of the document data to be continuously edited. The contents are referenced.

Thereafter, the contents of the document data area to be edited and the contents of the document data area not to be edited are exchanged again (step 924), so that the original document data enters the document data area to be edited, and the long document is searched and replaced. , Stylistic unification, spell check, format unification, tab unification are completed.

[0056]

According to the present invention, by transferring document data to be edited to the editing area, at least two
Using one document data as one long sentence, it becomes possible to perform an editing process including search and replace, stylistic unification, spell check, format unification, unification of tab setting information, and the like.

When the ratio of the display range of the document data can be changed, the display ratio of the two documents can be changed line by line in a mode in which two documents are displayed simultaneously. For example, as in the case where a title is fixedly displayed, the number of screen lines on the title fixed display side can be reduced to a necessary minimum number of lines, and the other editing screen can be enlarged.

[0058]

Further, in the case where the subsequent or previous document data can be connected to the succeeding or succeeding document data by using the specified joint change position as a boundary, a break between two documents can be established. Can be changed so that if the capacity of one document is about to exceed the maximum capacity of a normal document, the document data can be transferred to the other document, and the amount of document data stored in each document Can be adjusted.
