Hi all,
My requirement to retrieve the word in the current cursor position when the edit macro runs...
I just wanted to know how to retrieve the word instead of the whole line using "LINE .ZCSR".
How to retrieve the word? |

| Code: |
| "isredit (R,C) = cursor" |
and the rest can be found in the manual, i.e. if the cursor is not on the datalines. No inclination to look it up. |

as Prino said, RT  FM.
LINE returns the complete line.
as Prino indicated, retrieving the cursor position with CURSOR will give you a column number, which you can use as the starting position of a SUBSTR command.

The phrase x,y coordinates is not applicable with cursor positioning, that refers to graphs.
the correct terminology is Line number, column - which you may learn if you bother to read the manual.
Using your own terminology does not help.
