proc.ih

Command/PROC, Releases: AP and R83

Remove string from input buffer.

Syntax

ih\ ih \ ih string

Description

removes the current parameter from the currently active input buffer and replaces it with a null value.

If the pointer is in the middle of a parameter, the parameter is truncated, starting at the current position.

'ih \' inserts a new null parameter in front of the current parameter in the currently active input buffer. If the pointer is in the middle of a parameter, the parameter is truncated starting at the current position and a new null parameter is added after the truncation.

'ih string' inputs a data string into the active input buffer.

Example

s1
o print (y/n=<return>) +
ihn
ip:

This stores 'n' into the input buffer location, giving the operator
two ways to just say 'no'.
