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 specifies a new symbol it is taken to be a function or operator. However, if a name is localised in a suspended function or operator but is otherwise undefined, it is assumed to be a vector of character vectors.

The type of a new object may be specified explicitly by preceding its name with an appropriate symbol as follows:

`∇`	function or operator
`→`	simple character vector
`∊`	vector of character vectors
`-`	character matrix
`⍟`	Namespace script
`○`	Class script
`∘`	Interface
`⋄`	Array Notation

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.
