JPH0528145A - Retrieval/deletion and blank processing method for word processor - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To secure the processing of just a single time instead of repetition of the retrieval processing, the deletion processing, and the blank processing respectively by retrieving a fixed character string and a fixed character space and applying the deletion/blank processing to these character string and space in a series of operations. a character string CONSTITUTION:When 'AIU' shown in a diagram is retrieved and deleted, the string 'AIU' is inputted through an input party 4 like a keyboard, etc., together with a retrieval/deletion processing mode. An input character retrieving part 2-0 retrieves the string 'AIU' out of a memory 3 and displays it in blinking. An operator pushes an execution key in response to the blinking display and therefore a processing selection part 2-1 actuates a retrieval/deletion processing part 2-2 to carry out the due processing. When the blank processing is applied among the characters of the string 'AIU', a retrieval/blank processing mode and the string 'AIU' are inputted through the part 4. Then the part 2-1 actuates a retrieval/blank processing part 2-3 to apply the blank processing among those characters. Thus it is possible to delete the characters only when the operation of the execution key is designated without deleting the characters at all times.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a document processing device,
Especially in document editing, when you want to delete an arbitrary character string by using the search processing function, or when you want to leave a space between arbitrary characters, both can be done by a series of one-time processing. It was done.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a document processing apparatus, when it is desired to search and delete an arbitrary character string, for example, "Ai" as shown in FIG. 6, a search is first performed using the search character "Ai". Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (B), when this is retrieved (for example, blinking is displayed), as shown in FIG. 6 (C), deletion processing is performed for this. This required pressing the "Delete" key, scanning the cursor over these strings, and then pressing the Enter key. Ie 2
It was necessary to operate once.

Further, when it is desired to leave a space between arbitrary characters, for example, as shown in FIG.
When it is desired to replace spaces between "," the search is first performed using the search character "[". Then, as shown in FIG. 7 (B), when this is retrieved (for example, blinking is displayed), as shown in FIGS. 7 (C) and (D), the blank key must be pressed to perform blank replacement processing. There wasn't. That is, two operations were required.

[0004]

As described above, according to the conventional technique, when deleting a character string, first, a search is performed using a search character string to be deleted, and then a deletion process is performed.
Two operations were required.

Similarly, when it is desired to leave a space between arbitrary characters, it is necessary to perform a two-time operation of first performing a character search and then performing a blank process. Therefore, it has been necessary to search, delete, or replace the blank space every time.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a search / delete / blank processing method in a document processing apparatus capable of the above without repeating the search processing and the deletion processing or the search processing and the blank processing. It is to provide.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a CPU 2 and a memory 3 are provided in a document processing apparatus 1 and an input character search section 2- 0, a process selection unit 2-1, a search deletion processing unit 2-2, and a search blank processing unit 2-3 are provided. Also, an input unit 4 and a display unit 5 are provided.

[0008]

For example, when "Ai" is searched and deleted, the process is search and deletion, and this character string "Ai" is input from the input unit 4 such as a keyboard by the procedure described later.

As a result, the input character retrieving section 2-0 retrieves it from the memory 3 and, for example, blinks it, as shown in FIG. 1 (B). When the operator sees this and presses the execute key, the process selection section 2-1 operates the search and delete processing section 2-2 to execute the delete processing, and the state shown in FIG.

The CPU 2 further reads the memory 3 and causes the input character search unit 2-0 to search for the next "ai", and performs the same processing. Further, for example, when "[" is selected as the character 1 and "]" is selected as the character 2 to perform a blank process between these characters, the process is a search blank according to the procedure described later, and this character string is input to the input unit 4 Enter from.

As a result, the input character retrieval section 2-0 retrieves it from the memory 3 as shown in FIG. When the operator sees this and presses the execution key, the process selection unit 2-1 operates the search blank processing unit 2-3 to perform blank processing between these character strings, and
The state shown in FIG. As described above, according to the present invention, instead of always erasing, it is possible to erase only when there is a designation such as an operation of an execution key.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 shows the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of its operation, FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a display surface at the time of retrieval and deletion in the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a search blank processing in the present invention. It is a display surface explanatory view at the time.

In the figure, the same symbols as those in the other figures indicate the same parts, and 2-4
Is an input character holding unit that temporarily holds a character input to be searched, 2-9 is a control unit, 3-1 is a search character string data holding unit, 3-2 is a process designation data holding unit, and 4-0 is a buffer. , 5-0 is a display such as a CRT, and 5-1 is a display memory.

Next, the operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described with respect to (1) search and delete processing and (2) search blank processing. (1) Search and delete processing. When the operator operates the search key from the input unit 4, the control unit 2-9 identifies it and displays it on the display 5-0.
As shown in (A), "search, replace, delete" is displayed.

[3] is input when performing the search and delete process. If it is not "3", the control unit 2-9 judges whether it is "1", and when it is "1", the conventional search processing is performed. However, if it is not "1", since it is "2", the conventional replacement process is performed. When it is "3", the control unit 2-9 displays the data in FIG.
As shown in (B), an operation process is designated to select any one of them. For example, if the "delete key" is operated, the search and delete process is selected, and if the "tab key" is operated, the search and blank replacement process is selected.

The operator controls the operation of the delete key by the control unit 2
When -9 is recognized, as shown in FIG. 4 (C), a display requesting operation and input of the deleted character string is displayed.
For example, "I say" is input. Then, when the execute key is operated, the search and delete process is performed. At this time, “I say” is held in the search character string data holding unit 3-1 and the fact that the search is deleted is held in the process designation data holding unit 3-2. It should be noted that the input character holding unit 2-4 also has "Ai"
Is retained. The control unit 2-9 sequentially reads the sentences written in the memory 3 and causes the input character search unit 2-0 to collate them.

When "Ai" is searched, the control unit 2-
9 indicates this by blinking, for example. By this, the operator operates the execution key when it is determined that the deletion should be performed. As a result, the process selection unit 2-1 causes the search and deletion processing unit 2-.
2 is operated, and this "Ai" is deleted, and FIG.
It will be displayed as shown in. However, if it cannot be searched, this message is displayed.

If the end key is not operated at this time, it is a continuation designation, and similar character string search and deletion processing is performed for the next memory read data. In this way, the character string search and delete processing is sequentially performed.

(2) Search blank processing. By the way, when the tab key is operated in the above, the search blank replacement process is selected. When the control unit 2-9 recognizes this, as shown in FIG. 5 (C), a designation screen for the character 1 and the character 2 is output, and the characters on both sides to be replaced with blanks are specified (the character string for blank replacement is specified. May be). When the enter key is pressed after the character input, the search process for character 1 is started.

When the character 1 is retrieved, the control unit 2-9 displays it by blinking, for example. Then, the search process for the character 2 is performed. At the same time, the counter is operated to start counting the number of characters until the character 2 is detected. If the character 1 cannot be searched, this is displayed as a message.

When the character 2 is retrieved, the control section 2-9 displays it, for example, by blinking. If the operator determines that the blank should be replaced, the operator operates the execute key. As a result, the process selection unit 2-1 operates the search blank processing unit 2-3 to perform blank data filling processing between the character 1 and the character 2.

At this time, if the end key is not operated, the continuation is designated, and the similar search blank process between the character 1 and the character 2 is performed for the next memory read data. In this way, the character string search blank processing is sequentially performed.

In any of the above cases, the execution key is operated to perform the search / delete process or the search blank process. However, of course, the search / delete process or the search blank process is automatically performed without performing such an operation. You can also do it.

By the way, in the present invention, it is not necessary to always erase a character string or a space between characters, and data is erased only when an erase instruction is given. It has a function of individually reading stored information during an editing process on an arbitrary page for operation.
