|
end-column |
Right column of a range (with start-column) within which the search-string value must be found. |
|
line-control-range |
The range of lines which are to be processed by the command. Line control ranges provide a powerful tool to customize the range of lines to be processed. The full syntax and allowable operands which make up a line control range are discussed in "Line Control Range Specification". Refer to that section of the documentation for details. |

color-selection-criteria |
A request for selection based on the highlight color of the search-string. Color requests provide another powerful tool to control search selection.

ALL |
All lines in the line range are processed. |

|
MX |
MX requests that all lines which DO contain search-string be excluded from the display following command processing. MX = Make Excluded. |

Description
NULINE will add the User line status to all lines which do not meet the specified criteria. This is an alternative method to using the U / UU line commands to mark lines as User Lines.
When an "ordinary" V line becomes a U line , a | vertical bar will appear in the "gap column".
Example uses of the NULINE command
To mark all lines containing which do not have ABC in column 12 as User Lines:
NULINE ALL "ABC" 12
To mark all lines which do not contain the word FRED highlighted in RED as User Lines:
NULINE "FRED" WORD RED ALL
