Edit Object )ED nms

)ED invokes the Dyalog editor and opens an Edit window for each of the objects specified in nms.

If a name includes the slash character (\ or /) it is taken to be the name of a file. See Editing Scripts and Text Files.

If a name is followed by a line number specified in square brackets, the Editor positions the cursor in the corresponding line. There must not be a space between the last character of the name and the [.

If a name is not already defined, it is assumed to be a function or operator unless type is also specified.

You can specify the type of a new object by prefixing its name with a single symbol:

`∇`	function or operator
`⍟`	Namespace script
`○`	Class script
`∘`	Interface
`→`	simple character vector
`∊`	vector of character vectors
`-`	character matrix
`⋄`	array: use array notation

If an existing object is named, any type specification in the command is ignored unless the type is ⋄.

If the type is ⋄ and the name is either undefined or of an array, the Editor opens in array-notation mode. The resulting array can be of any type or structure.

The first object named becomes the top window on the stack. See the Dyalog for Microsoft Windows UI Guide or the Dyalog for UNIX UI Guide for details.

Examples

      )ED MYFUNCTION

      )ED MYFUNCTION[1000] YOURFUNCTION[3]

      )ED ∇FOO -MAT ∊VECVEC

Objects specified in nms that cannot be edited are silently ignored. Objects qualified with a namespace path (for example, a.b.c.foo) are silently ignored if the namespace does not exist.
