Sort dialogue box
values separated by white space. The counting of fields begins at zero
(0) rather than one (1). Sorting can be done over a primary field or a
primary and secondary field, and the lines can be sorted in ascending
or descending order. As with many of the dialogue boxes the Sort
dialogue settings can be specified but dismissed (by pressing the Dismiss button). Instead of executing the action immediately, the sort
dialogue simply saves the settings. Pressing the Cancel button reverts
the settings to the previous values. Pressing the Sort button causes
the sort action to be done. The lines of text are sorted and the result
is returned into a new text window which is called “ <WindowName>
Sorted” where <WindowName> is the name of the window being
sorted. Note that the text of the sorted window is not saved to a file,
but when the file is saved, a Save As dialogue prompts the user for a
filename for the new text window. An example of the use of Sort... is
given in Chapter 5.
The Translate... command brings up the Translate dialogue
(shown in Figure B.11) for a translation action to be applied to the
current text window. The translation requires a pattern file which contains lines which specify the translations to be performed. The format
of the lines which specify the translation is as follows:
<find string> <replace_string>
The find string cannot contain spaces, but the replace string, which
is all of the line apart from the first word or string, can contain spaces.
An example pattern file is:
