Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily and quickly set a mode by providing an insertion means inserting a 2nd character string to a specific position of a 1st character string and a control means selectively designating the merge mode of the 2nd character string according to the preset mode with respect to the 2nd character string. CONSTITUTION:The document processor is provided with the insertion means A to insert the 2nd character string at the specific position of the 1st character string, and the control means B to selectively specify the merge mode of the 2nd character string according to the preset mode with respect to the 2nd character string. Only by setting the mode of a merge position at the time of generating an original document, the different modes of each merge document can be easily unified. Accordingly the modes of each merge document have not to be individually set, whereby an operator..s trouble can be omitted and his errors can be minimized.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a document processing device that includes means for inserting another document into a specific position of a certain document.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, the insertion function (i.e., merge function, merge print function, etc.) in this type of document processing device simply inserts other document information into a designated specific position in document information created in advance. , it only performed printing.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in conventional document processing devices, the character mode (
In particular, the mode settings made for the merge position (merge position) affect the documents to be merged (merge position).
After the merge is executed, it has no effect (binding force) on the merged document. For example, if bold mode is set at a merge position with an original document and a merge document is inserted into that merge position, bold mode will not be effective for the merged document and the mode will not be set. become.

Therefore, if the same mode is set for all documents to be merged, it becomes necessary to individually set the same mode for each merged document.

Further, among conventionally known document processing apparatuses, there are some models in which the character mode of a merged document cannot be individually set.

As a result, there are disadvantages in that the document processing apparatus not only lacks operability but also increases the possibility of operational errors. Furthermore, by executing the merge, a document was created that was contrary to the operator's wishes, which was extremely inconvenient.

From 6 onwards, each command is manually input, and the character string mode setting, merge position, etc. in this embodiment are also set in the document information. Furthermore, the plug-in function is also commanded from KB5.

Next, the control procedure of this embodiment will be explained in more detail with reference to flowcharts.

FIGS. 4(A) and 4(B) are flowcharts showing editing processing during document creation in this embodiment.

In FIG. 4(A), first, in step St, a key code drop-in process is performed. In step S2, it is determined whether the obtained key is a general key, and if it is a general key, step S3
Proceed to perform general processing. If the key is not a general key, the corresponding special processing is performed in step S4, and the processing is terminated.

The contents of the above-mentioned special processing are shown in FIG. 4(B).

Here, it is first determined in step S5 whether or not it is a mode setting key, and if it is a mode setting key, step S7
Mode setting processing is performed at , and the processing ends.

Further, if a negative determination is made in step S5, and if the merge position setting key is pressed in step S6, a merge position setting process is performed in step S8, and the process ends. In other cases, other processing is performed in step S9, and the processing ends.

In the mode setting process of step S7, the setting flag for the corresponding mode is turned ON when turned OFF, and turned OFF when turned ON. This will set the flag to O when inputting characters.
In the case of N, corresponding mode information in bits is set for the current position of the attribute area TO-a of TB in FIG. 3(B). This is shown in Figure 7 (
Regarding A), “'b f
l”: The bold mode flag will be set in bit units.

In addition, in the general processing of step S3 shown in FIG. Accordingly, as described above, the attribute area TOar of the same position
Set the corresponding attribute information in TB PI.

In the merge position setting process of step S8,
TB character area T) jc current position T
Set the merge position code M to B-c [rB-p]. The coat set in this way is shown in Figure 7 (
A) Corresponds to °゛M'' of the OB-P-M position shown in .

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the entire merge function process.

In step 510, as initial processing of the merge process, the original document is set to OB and the merge document is set to MB, and the characters of the merge document are counted to determine the number of characters to be merged.
Set it in a predetermined position in RAM3 as NT.

In step Sll, the original buffer.

Set the client buffer pointer OB to the starting position 0B-P-1. Next, in step 512, the contents of 0B-c pointed to by OB-P are the document end code + Jor.
”.As a result, “IEo
, n, in step 513 the same content is
.degree.M", that is, whether or not it is a merged positive-con code.

If it is a merge position code, it is necessary to perform a merge process on the corresponding position, so the merge process is performed in step S14, and the process returns to step 512 again. Conversely, if it is not a merge position code, the pointer 0[IP is incremented in step S15, and the process returns to step 512 again.

If it is determined in step 512 that "l:or", it is determined in step 516 whether or not the mode is print mode.As a result, if it is determined that the mode is print mode, in step 518 printing is performed. Processing is performed. Also, if it is not the print mode, O is set in step 517.
Processing such as saving the contents of B to the FD5 is performed.

FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B) are flowcharts showing in detail the contents of step 514 (merging process) shown in FIG.

First, in step 519 shown in FIG. 6(A), the merge document buffer pointer MB-P is moved to the starting position M8.
P+ is set, and in step 520, the content after the merge position of the original document is moved to the rear.

FIG. 6(B) is a flowchart showing details of this step 520. In step S25 shown in the figure, OP is set as the work pointer to the current pointer 08P. In step 526, the QB pointed to by this OP is
It is determined whether the content of is °[,or''. As a result, if it is not l+EoP'', OP is incremented in step 527, and the process returns to step S26. Here, the end of the original document is detected and its position is obtained from the OP.

If EOF" is detected in step 526, control is transferred to step 528, and if +1Eo2" is moved to the rear by a predetermined count number (CNT-1), it is determined whether there is a risk of overflowing from the original buffer OB. Determine. That is, since OB-P-MAX-touches, the last buffer pointer OP to be moved in step S29 is OB-P-MAX-(CNT-1) 1. :
and at the same time set E to O[l-c [08-jMAX].
Set "Or".

If a negative determination is made in step 528 (positive) and if step S29 is executed, in step 530, OP is at the merge position 0R-
It is determined whether or not P (OB-P-M).

As a result, if it is not 08-P, it means that the movement process has not finished yet, so in step S31, the OP
The contents of the OB pointed to by OP+ (CNT-1) are
Move to B.

In step S32, OP is decremented, and in step S32, OP is decremented.
The determination is made again at 30.

Further, when it is determined in step 530 that 0P=OB-P, it is determined that character movement of the original document for merging has been completed, and
The process of step 520 ends.

It is determined whether ORP is 011 P MAX.

If a negative determination is made in step S22, merging is performed in step S23. That is, MB-

In this case, the original document merge position does not have a mode specified, so the merge document mode is enabled and MB-a [MB-Pl
Move (copy) to 0B-a [0B-Pl, and set the mode of the current position of the merge document to the attribute area of the current position of the original document. Also, when MP-a is other than °゛O'' (that is, when the attribute bit flag is set), it means that the mode is specified at the original document merge position, so MP-a is set to 0B. −

The above loop realizes merging, and step S
If an affirmative determination is obtained in step S21 or step S22, the process ends.

Note that in this embodiment described above, the mode specified for the merge document is valid only when the mode is not specified for the merge position in the original document, but the mode of the merge position (i.e.,
It is also possible to make both attributes valid by calculating the logical OR of the content of the attribute area) and the mode of each position in the merge document (that is, the content of the attribute area).

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, depending on the presence or absence of the mode (that is, attribute information) setting at the merge position, the mode at the merge position is enabled for the document after the merge is executed, or,
You can select whether to enable merge document mode. For example, if a mode is set at a merge position, after the merge is executed, that mode is set for the entire document merged at that position.

In this way, by simply setting the mode of the merge position when creating the original document, it is possible to easily unify the modes of merged documents that each have different modes. In this way, it is no longer necessary to individually set the mode for each merged document, which saves the operator's time and effort, and at the same time makes it possible to minimize operational errors.

Furthermore, if you want to set different modes for each merged document, by not setting the mode at the relevant merge position, the mode of each merged document will be used even after the merge is executed. As a result, it becomes possible to obtain detailed document information according to the purpose of merging.
