TL / TLL - Truncate Lines to a Length
Syntax
TL[n] TLL[n] |
TLL is the block form of this command. |
Operands
n |
A number that tells the editor the desired fixed length for each line in the range. |
Description
The TL command is used to force one or more lines to have an explicit fixed length. This action may involve deletion of non-blank data characters from the right-hand side of selected lines.
n is a fixed line size. It may be any non-zero value.
When the TL command imposes a fixed line length on one or more lines, it does this by truncating the right-hand side of all lines longer than n characters so that only n characters are left, as if the Erase EOF primitive keyboard operation were applied at cursor position n+1. Lines shorter than n characters are padded on the right with sufficient blanks to extend the line length to n characters.
If omitted on the command, n defaults to the length of the longest line of any line in the block. So for example, if lines 1 to 3 had line lengths of 5, 15 and 10, respectively, and TLL were placed on lines 1 and 3, all 3 lines would be given a length of 15.
This also means that a single TL command with no n value will effectively do nothing.
