If anyone wants to try my editor:

http://web.tiscali.it/pas80/led.htm

I wrote it because there is not a decent console editor available for AROS, vi is bugged and ed is far to be considered usable. I tried also to port emacs and others without lucky.

The latest tarball has a very small improvement.

I'll test this a bit later, thanks for it

I just update the tarball with very small bugs fixed, no need to change release number; i have developed it mainly to make quick editing on shell.

Your site is very nice and with a lot of usefull things, i think the problem about AROS is to find what is needed; a better management of the project would be appreciaded.

Now on my site is available a special version for AROS, MorphOS and AmigaOS that includes the following feauters:

1 - a line is available from clipboard when it is selected to be edited by pressing RAmiga+V;

2 - an option to quickly replace tab with space.

Some tips:

1 - to search a string "string" type: s,string
2 - to delete it in any line type: s,string,
3 - to delete it in one line (e.g. 1) type: s,string,,1
4 - to delete it in a range (e.g. from 1 to 10) type: s,string,,1,10
5 - to convert correctly a text file from DOS/Mac to Unix format type o and then: s,.$,
6 - to save correctly a file in DOS/Mac format type o just before writting it
7 - the special form |cM is for a comma, so to search the string "string," type: s,string|cM

and so, take a look to Lua patterns.

Just update the tarball (20171221) with some minor changes, an option to switch quickly to DOS/Mac format.

Just another update (20171223).

To compile by yourself download and extract Urn:

https://github.com/SquidDev/urn

i suggest to make an alias, something like this:

alias urn "lua urn-master/bin/urn.lua"

then type:

urn -o led.lua led.lisp

or:

urn -o led.src.lua led.lisp
luac -s -o led.lua led.src.lua

Just another update (20171228) with some minor bugs fixed and small improvements, like resume a stopped scrolling.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with my editor.

With the new year another release (20180101), now is possible to edit a line and to insert new text from that line immediately.

Just update, also adjusted to work properly on Linux/UNIX with XTerm.
