DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a character processing apparatus and a character processing apparatus.
More specifically, regarding a copy / paste method in a processing device , a sentence for storing an address where a character string exists and for performing copy / paste at the time of document creation, instead of storing a character string.
The present invention relates to a character processing device and a copy / pasting method in the character processing device . For example, the present invention is applied to a document creation device such as a word processor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a conventional copy / paste method. Hereinafter, description will be made in order according to each step (S). First, when copying is started, a range of a copy source is designated (selection of a desired character string), and a desired character string having the designated range is stored in a memory (buffer) (S51).
Next, copying is performed by designating a copy destination. The character string stored in the memory (buffer) is copied to the designated copy destination (S52). Next, it is determined whether or not to paste (S53), and if not, the process is terminated. To paste, specify the paste destination and execute the paste. The character string stored in the memory (buffer) is pasted to the designated paste destination (S54).
Next, it is determined whether to change a part of the character string (S5
5) If not changed, the process returns to S53. If changed, a part of the character string is changed (S56), and the process returns to the start of copying.

As described above, a character string itself to be copied and pasted is stored in a storage device (buffer), and when a copy and paste destination is designated, the character string stored at that position is converted. By expanding, a desired purpose can be achieved. If a part of the character string is to be changed and pasted, the range of the changed character string must be specified again, and the contents of the character string storage device (buffer) must be rewritten and copied. Must. Further, the storage device (buffer) requires a capacity for the number of characters, and the number of characters is limited.

[0004] As a known document describing a conventional document editing apparatus, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-257267. The purpose of this publication is to copy a short character string to the same digit position as in a bulleted document or a table document, and to use a predetermined character copy symbol (dotted character string as a copy symbol string). Enter a role).
Among the character strings displayed on the display screen, the character string of the preceding line having a predetermined positional relationship with the character copy symbol is substituted for the position of the character copy symbol.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-107620 relates to a repetition generating means for repeatedly inputting the same expression, and the keyboard is provided with a "repetition key". The repetition generating means is activated by the first repetition key, and the head address of a word to be continuously input and displayed is stored. If it is the second time, the word input from the head address of the word stored when the first repetition key is pressed until the time when the second repetition key is pressed is read from the display means, and the read word is read by the display means. This is a copy display following the word.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-162174 discloses a technique in which an area in which a table frame is formed by ruled lines and format marks is provided.
The purpose of this method is to repeat a specific character string multiple times for each line, analyze the character before and after the specified character, specify the range of the continuous character string, and copy the continuous character string And a copy instructing means for instructing the copying direction, and a determining means for determining whether or not the area in the copying instructing direction is an area where a character string can be written. The copy character string is stored in a character code buffer in a character code.

[0007]

As described above, in the conventional document copy / paste method, when copying and pasting, if it is desired to change a part of the character string and paste it. The range of the changed character string must be specified again, and the contents of the character string storage device (buffer) must be rewritten. Further, the storage device (buffer) needs a capacity for the number of characters of the character string, and the number of characters is limited.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. (1) By storing an address designating a desired character string, copying and pasting can be performed after a range is specified.
(2) to easily change a part of a character string in the process of performing it once or a plurality of times, to eliminate the limitation on the number of characters of a character string for copying and pasting, and to reduce the capacity of a storage device (buffer); (3) by storing an address indicating a character string after copying and pasting, to reduce the amount of movement of the cursor when changing the copied character string;

FIGS. 5 and 6 show a character processing device according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment in which a copy and pasting method is performed in the placement and character processing apparatus . First, first, the display screen is as shown in FIG.
It is assumed that First, by specifying the range of “JP-A Sho” (3 characters) of “JP-A-61-1234” on the first line of FIG. 5A, the character string “Toku” is stored in the address storage unit 6. The designated address [A1] is stored, and the number-of-characters storage unit 7 stores the number of characters "3".
Next, when the cursor is moved to the head of the second line and copying is performed, the address [A stored in the address storage unit 6 is read.
The number of characters "3" stored in the number-of-characters storage section 7 starting from [1], that is, the number of characters for three characters is developed (copied) from the cursor position, and a character string of "JP-A" is inserted.

Then, the address of the cursor position [A
2] (Start address of the character string copied just now) is stored in the address storage unit (the number of character storage unit remains unchanged). The display screen is shown in FIG.
become that way. Next, when the cursor is moved to the head of the third line and pasting is performed, similarly, FIG.
−3456 ”. At this time, the address storage unit 6
Stores the address [A3] of the cursor position (the head address of the character string just pasted), but the character number storage unit 7 still stores the character number "3". Subsequently, similarly, when the cursor is moved to the head of the fourth line and pasting is performed, FIG.
67, and the address storage unit 6 stores the address [A4] of the cursor position (the head address of the character string just pasted).

Here, FIG.
7 is replaced with the character string of "JP-A Sho"
Represents a space. same as below. ), The contents of the address storage unit 6 are kept as they are, and the number of characters storage unit 7 is changed to the number of characters “4”. FIG. 5 (e) shows "Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-4567". Next, when the cursor is moved to the head of the fifth line and pasting is performed, FIG.
It is as shown in "JP-A-2-5678". At this time, the address [A5] of the cursor position is stored in the address storage unit 6.
(The head address of the character string just pasted) is stored, and the number of characters “4” is still stored in the number-of-characters storage unit 7.

Subsequently, similarly, when the cursor is moved to the head of the sixth line and pasting is performed, FIG.
3-7890 ”, and the address storage unit 6 stores
The address [A6] of the cursor position (the head address of the character string just pasted) is stored. in this way,
As shown in the item of FIG. 6, in the present invention, even if a part of the character string is changed, only pasting is required, whereas in the prior art, the range must be specified again and copied. Was.

Next, the change of the character string to be pasted will be described in detail with reference to the character string change flowchart of the present invention shown in FIG. The address stored in the address storage unit 6 is A
n, the cursor position is Cu, the number of characters stored in the character number storage unit 7 is S, and the number of added / deleted characters is m.
The condition for changing the character string is, of course, An ≦ Cu ≦ An +
Must be S. If a character is added, S ← S
+ M and the value obtained by adding the number m of characters added to the number S of characters stored in the number-of-characters storage unit 7 to a value. When the character is deleted, the value is changed to a value obtained by subtracting the number m of characters deleted from the number S of characters stored in the number-of-characters storage unit 7 from S ← Sm.

[0020] sentence shown in Fig seven seventy-one "Nara" of "Nara, Nara Prefecture Minosho town" and a string portion of the target (3 characters), address the presence of the character of "Nana" [An] Are stored in the address storage unit 6, and S (the number of characters) “3” is stored in the character number storage unit 7. Here, when “Nara city” is changed to “Yamato Koriyama city” as in “example sentence: 72” shown in FIG. 7, the value stored in the address storage unit 6 is stored in the character number storage unit 7 as it is. S
(Number of characters) “3” changes to S (number of characters) “5”.

If the pasting is performed once or more times in this state, the character string "Yamato Koriyama City" will be pasted one after another. On the other hand, "example sentence: 71" shown in FIG.
Of "Nara-shi" in "Example": "73"
While the value stored in the address storage unit 6 is unchanged, S (the number of characters) “3” stored in the number-of-characters storage unit 7 is
S (number of characters) changes to "1". If the pasting is performed once or a plurality of times in this state, the character strings of “inside” will be pasted one after another.

Next, the details of the change of the value stored in the address storage unit when editing (addition / deletion) is performed will be described with reference to the character string movement flowchart of the present invention in FIG. When the value at the cursor position after editing (addition / deletion) is larger than the sum of the value stored in the address storage unit 6 and the value stored in the number-of-characters storage unit 7 (addition / deletion) Character is at the end of the character string to be pasted), that is, “summer is 7 o'clock” in “example sentence: 81” shown in FIG. 8 and the character string to be pasted is “summer”. When the address [An] is stored in the address storage unit 6 and S (the number of characters) “4” is stored in the “character number storage unit”, even if “change quickly to a boat” (11 characters) is deleted. 8, the contents of the address storage unit 6 remain unchanged as in "example sentence: 82" shown in FIG.

Next, when the value at the cursor position after editing (addition / deletion) is smaller than the value stored in the address storage unit 6 (the character to be added / deleted is the character string to be pasted). For example, when "in the afternoon flight" (5 characters) of "example sentence: 81" shown in FIG. 8 is deleted (as in "example sentence: 83"), the address is stored. The content of the part 6 is changed to a value obtained by subtracting the number of deleted characters. It is assumed that An ← An−5. “Example sentence:
"Beautiful" 84 "(3 characters) if it is added, changing the added number of characters value obtained by adding the contents of the address storage unit 6. That is, An ← An + 3.

[0024]

As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has the following effects. Double Utsushigo, in the course of performing Paste one or more times, it is possible to change some of the easily adhesion target string. Also, when changing the copy (paste) character string, the character string after copying (pasting) may be changed, so that the cursor movement amount is small (the cursor is copied immediately after execution of the copy (paste)). (Because it is near the character string after (pasting)).
Further, a storage device for a desired character string itself to be copied (pasted) becomes unnecessary. Accordingly, there is no limit on the number of characters in the copy and paste character strings. If you want to paste to change the part of the Nozomu Tokoro string (Paste subject string), without redoing the range specified, it is possible to perform the paste one after another. Desired character string (Paste target string) is changed by editing, even if the number of characters is changed, the paste of the desired character string, without redoing the range specification, can be carried out one after another. After the desired character string (adhesion target string) is moved by the editing, pasting desired character string, without redoing the range specification can be performed one after another.
