Re: positional copy blocks

Roger's solution is a great one for putting the same value on every line of a selected region. To do exactly what you have described, there's a different method, also using the block commands. This is better when the block will not have the same value on every line.

- Put your cursor at upper-left of block you want to copy and press Alt-R.
- Put your cursor at lower-right of that block and press Alt-R again.
- Go to the upper-left of the place you want to copy to and press Alt-Z -- this will fill a block the same size as you selected, replacing anything that is there. It, in fact, makes this region the new block for repeating this step.

Is there a way in WDS to select multiple lines worth of a positional
range (and of course paste them into same)?



Example:

I flag my changes in positions 1 thru 4 (JL01).

I'd like to copy

JL01

JL01

JL01

JL01

JL01

JL01

Etc

from these first four positions, into the first four positions of my
other new lines (without having to do it one line at a time).
