led, the LDPL Text Editor, is a line text editor written in LDPL, inspired by the ed and sed text editors, but friendlier!

Watch led in action!

Usage

Run led <file> to open <file> and edit it. Alternatively you can just run led to create a new, empty file.

led has working two modes, command mode and append mode. When in command mode, all text entered is interpreted as a command. When in append mode, all text entered is appended to a buffer. To exit append mode, enter a line with just a dot in it (.).

Commands

• h shows this command list.
• l lists the contents of the buffer.
• l <from> lists the buffer from line <from>.
• l <from> <count> lists <count> lines from the buffer from line <from>.
• a enters append mode.
• a <from> enters append mode and appends text to the buffer at line <from>.
• d <line> deletes line <line> from the buffer.
• d <from> <count> deletes <count> lines from the buffer from line <from>.
• i s file information.
• q exits led.
• c clears the screen.
• s saves the buffer to a file.
• n changes the name of the destination file.
• r <line> allows retyping of line <line>.
