Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a file editor controller for information processor which efficiently performs the correcting work like write of an original file. CONSTITUTION:A file attribute storage means 11 where the attribute of a designated file is stored at the time of designating this file stored in an external storage device as the editing object by an operator, a temporary file reserving means 12 for editing which temporarily stores contents of the designated file to reserve a file for editing, an editing object file copy means 13 which copies contents of the editing object file to the temporary file for editing, and a command processing start means 14 which analyzes a character inputted by the operator and starts the command processing in the case of a command character and starts the editing means in the case of an editing character input are provided. An editing means 15 is provided, and this means informs the operator of the write inhibition mode without the editing processing by a warning buzzer or the like when the file attribute stored in a file attribute storage means 11 indicates the write inhibition mode, but the means 15 edits contents of the temporary file for editing if it does not indicate the write inhibition mode.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a file editor control device for an information processing device, and more particularly to a file editor control device for an information processing system that functions when editing a write-protected file stored in an external storage device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the file editor control in this type of information processing system, if a character in the write-protected mode is copied to a temporary editing file and then an editing character is input from the keyboard, the temporary editing file is not created. It was supposed to be changed to the conditions.

[0003]

In the conventional file editor control described above, when a file in the write-protected mode is copied to a temporary file for editing as an edit target, the original file is edited even though it is write-protected. Rewriting is possible on the temporary file for editing by inputting characters. Therefore, if the operator does not notice that the file is write-protected, he / she corrects it on the temporary file for editing, and when trying to write back to the original file, the original file is write-protected and cannot be written. There was the inconvenience of wasting it.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a file editor control device for an information processing system, which is capable of improving the disadvantages of the conventional example, and particularly efficiently performing a correction work such as writing an original file. And

[0005]

According to the present invention, in an information processing system, when an operator designates a file stored in an external storage device as an edit target, a file attribute storage for storing the attribute of the designated file. Means, an editing temporary file securing means for temporarily storing the contents of a specified file to secure a file for editing, and an editing target file copying for copying the contents of the editing target file to the editing temporary file And a command processing starting means for analyzing a character input by the operator, activating a command processing corresponding to the command if the character is a command character, and activating the editing means for an editing character input. .. Further, when the file attribute stored in the file attribute storage means is the write-protected mode, the operator is notified of the write-protected file by a warning buzzer or the like without performing the editing process, and when not in the write-protected mode. Has an editing means for editing the contents of the temporary file for editing,
Is adopted. This aims to achieve the above-mentioned object.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the information processing device 10 includes a display 20, a keyboard 30, and an external storage device 40, which are input / output means. The file attribute storage means 110 opens the edit file designated by the operator and stores the attribute of the file. The temporary editing file reserving means 120 opens the temporary editing file for temporarily storing the contents of the specified file to be edited and performing editing. The edit target file copying means 130 copies the contents of the edit target file into the opened temporary file for editing. The command processing activation means 140 activates the command processing according to the command if the character input to the editing temporary file is a command character for the editor program, and activates the editing means if the character is an edited character. Further, the editing means 150 confirms the file attribute of the file to be edited stored in the file attribute storage means 110, and if it is write-protected, does not update the contents of the temporary file for editing and writes a warning buzzer to write to the operator. Notify that it is prohibited, and if it is not write protected, update the contents of the temporary editing file with the input characters.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment with respect to the edit file will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The operator starts the editor program by specifying the name of the file to be edited. The editor program opens the specified edit target file and stores the file attribute of the edit target file in the file attribute storage means 110 (step 200).
~ 202). Next, the temporary editing file reserving unit 120 opens the temporary editing file for temporarily storing the contents of the specified file and performing editing, and after copying the contents of the editing target file to the temporary editing file. , The file to be edited is closed and a part of the temporary file for editing is displayed on the display (steps 204 to 20).
8).

When the operator inputs a character from the keyboard while looking at the display on the display, the command processing starting means 140 analyzes the input character, and if it is an operation designation command for the editor program, the command processing corresponding to the command is executed. Is started, and if the editing character is input, the editing means 150 is started (steps 210 to 216). The editing unit 150 confirms the file attribute of the file to be edited stored in the file attribute storage unit 110, updates the contents of the editing temporary file with the input character if it is not write protected, and edits it if it is write protected. The content of the temporary file for use is not updated, and a warning buzzer is sounded to inform the operator that the file to be edited is write-protected (steps 218 to 220).

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the write-protected file is called as an edit target, and when the edit operation is attempted, the edit is not performed and the operator is warned, so that the write-protection is performed by the operator. Thus, it is possible to provide a file editor control device of an excellent information processing system which has never been used and which eliminates the waste of continuing editing without noticing that.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. When the operator designates a file stored in an external storage device as an editing target, a file attribute storage means for storing the attribute of the designated file and the contents of the designated file are temporarily stored. A temporary file for editing, which secures a file for storing and editing, a means for copying the file to be edited, which copies the contents of the file to be edited into a temporary file for editing, and analyzes the characters entered by the operator. If the command character is a command character, the command processing corresponding to the command is started, and if the editing character is input, a command processing starting means for starting the editing means is provided, and the file attribute stored in the file attribute storage means is written. In the prohibit mode, a warning buzzer or the like is used to notify the operator that the file is a write-protected file without performing edit processing, and write-protection is performed. A file editor control device for an information processing system, characterized in that it is equipped with an editing means for editing the contents of a temporary editing file when it is not in the stop mode.
