Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a data editing method, and more specifically, an editing method of a general-purpose editor created based on a dedicated editor function for sheet metal systems, shaft systems, etc. To organize the array, you need to rearrange the data, add data, delete unnecessary data, represent the data, specify the format, and convert the code.

There are certain requirements such as zero suppression and specifying the printing format.

Editing is the process of performing these processes, and an editor is the program that performs these processes. In a general sense,
There is a general-purpose editor 2 that is provided for each computer.
There are line editors and screen editors. However, when creating a system that handles data in a fixed format, a dedicated editor is created.

If the file format changes, such as the number of data items or data column positions, the system itself must also change.

Conventional Art 1 For example, when creating a file in a language such as FORTRAN, it is necessary to specify the format of the file. Therefore, the number of data items and data format, such as the column position recorded, the number of data columns, etc.
If the values are different, an input system must be created each time, or when using a general-purpose editor, input and editing must be done keeping column positions in mind, which is very complicated.

Purpose An object of the present invention is to solve such conventional problems, and to provide a file input editing device in which one line has a plurality of data items (data fields), in which the number of data items and data item names can be arbitrarily set. The object of the present invention is to provide a general-purpose data editing method that allows data items to be edited and several data items to be designated as one group.

In order to achieve the above object, the data editing method of the present invention includes an input means for inputting data, and an input means for inputting data, in order to create a data file in which one line consists of a plurality of data items. In a data editing device, the data editing device has a processing means for executing editing using a data item, a file storage means for storing input data, and a display means for displaying a screen for input editing, the number of data items is 5, an index name, It is equipped with a structured data file that stores the data format and file structure, and in the structured data file, the number of data items and item names of the file to be input and edited can be arbitrarily set, and several data items are grouped as one group. The feature is that the group designation and group name can be arbitrarily set by handling.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained in detail by way of examples.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data editing device showing one embodiment of the present invention.

Data editing device i! shown in FIG. 10 is actually a general-purpose computer, and the number of data items, data item names (title names), and file recording formats can be arbitrarily specified. That is, it is a device that performs data input and file editing to create a sequential file with a length of 80 columns, in which one line (80 columns) consists of a plurality of data items.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a system software editor that executes system software for realizing the present invention; 3
2 is a CRT display section for displaying a screen for input/m collection; 5 is a storage section for storing created files; 4 is a structural data file; It is in the form of a seed parameter file 1
Number of data items, item names, data format of the present invention,
File structure etc. are described.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the structural data file shown in FIG. 1.

The structure data file 4 is as shown in FIG.

Data item number, data item name, format.

Group number and group name are memorized. If the system of the present invention is implemented in the structure shown in FIG.
For the file created there, first the data item is 1
There are 8 items in a row, and each item has the item name used to display the title of the data item during input editing, starting with the first item, "Surface No.", "Code", "Base point", "Parameter", "Base surface". *Base”.

They are named ``Position,''``Bend,'' and ``Modification.''

In the file format, the data of the first item is recorded between columns 2 and 7, and the data length is 7 columns. The second item is recorded between columns 8 and 11, and the data length is 4 columns. The third item is recorded between columns 12 and 15, and the data length is 4 columns. Since the fourth item is "NON", the number of columns has an arbitrary length, and the data is recorded from 16 columns.

Since the fifth item and subsequent items are all "NON", all data are of arbitrary length and are recorded sequentially after the end column position of the previous data. However, in the case of "NON" , II between the data to indicate the data separation.
In this example, special characters such as $II and /” are recorded as separators.
For empty data, only ¥′° is recorded. In this way, by determining ¥'', it is possible to determine which data item the data corresponds to.Furthermore, in this embodiment, data items can be designated into several blocks (groupings).Figure 2 The group number and group name in this example indicate that. In this example, the first to fourth items are designated as the first group, and the group name is “
Shape data ''.Similarly, the 5th item to the 7th item
The item is in the second group, the group name is "structural data",
The eighth item is the third group, and the group name is designated as "qualified data." This function will be described later as an editing function, but in order to make it easier to specify data items during input and editing, all data items included in the skipped group can be set to empty data.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the file created according to FIG. 2, in which (a) is an example of the file, and (b) is the format of the file.
