Creating a Named Paste Buffer

Arbortext Command Language > Using the Arbortext Command Language > Creating a Named Paste Buffer

To write a text passage to a named buffer, use one of these commands:

•

copy_markbuffername

•

delete_markbuffername

•

insert_string -buffer buffername

Buffer names are case-sensitive within the Arbortext Command Language. Thus, you can create one buffer named bills and another named Bills.

Unless the -append option is specified, any time you write to the named buffer, the current text replaces the contents of the buffer.

To insert the contents of a named paste buffer, use the command pastebuffername. In this example, enter the following at the Arbortext Editor command line:

paste warntext
