=head1 NAME
VI - VI module within perl embedded nvi
=head1 SYNOPSIS
sub wc {
my $words;
$i = $VI::StartLine;
while ($i <= $VI::StopLine) {
$_ = $curscr->GetLine($i++);
$words+=split;
}
$curscr->Msg("$words words");
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This pseudo module is available to perl programs run from within nvi and
provides access to the files being edited and some internal data.
Beware that you should not use this module from within a C<perldo> or
from within an C<END> block or a C<DESTROY> method.
=head2 Variables
These are set by nvi before starting each perl command.
=over 8

It can be used as the ScreenId parameter of the functions below,
or you can use object oriented syntax.
# the following two are equivalent

VI::DelLine($curscr, 57);
=item * $StartLine
Line number of the first line of the selected range or of the file if no
range was specified.
=item * $StopLine
Line number of the last line of the selected range or of the file if no
range was specified.

=item * GetLine
VI::GetLine(screenId,lineNumber);
Return lineNumber.
=item * GetMark
($line, $column) = VI::GetMark(screenId,mark);
Return the mark's cursor position as a list with two elements.

VI::InsertLine(screenId,lineNumber,text);
Insert the string text before the line in lineNumber.
=item * LastLine
VI::LastLine(screenId);
Return the last line in the screen.
=item * MapKey
VI::MapKey(screenId,key,perlproc);

Run the ex command cmd.
=item * SetCursor
VI::SetCursor(screenId,line,column);
Set the cursor to the line and column numbers supplied.

See further about methods you can use on tag queues.
=item * UnmapKey

Unmap a key.
=item * Warn
This is the default warning handler.
It adds any warnings to the error string.
=item * Opt

=head2 Tag queue methods
=item * Add
$tagq->Add($filename, $searchstring, $msg)
Adds a tag to the tag queue.

a string representing a regular expression.
=item * Push
$tagq->Push()
Pushes the tag queue onto its associated screen.
The result of the operation is as if the user had enter the
tag command and nvi had found the locations that were added
using the Add method.
For an example, see the make.pl script.

=head1 EXAMPLES
sub showmarks {
my ($mark, $all);
for $mark ('a' .. 'z') {
eval {VI::GetMark($VI::ScreenId, $mark)};
$all .= $mark unless ($@);
}
VI::Msg($VI::ScreenId,"Set marks: $all");
}
sub forall {
my ($code) = shift;
my ($i) = $VI::StartLine-1;
while (++$i <= $VI::StopLine) {
$_ = VI::GetLine($VI::ScreenId, $i);
VI::SetLine($VI::ScreenId, $i, $_) if(&$code);
}
}
Now you can do
:perl forall sub{s/perlre/substitution/}
Although you'll probably use
:perldo s/perlre/substitution/
instead.
See L<perlre> for perl regular expressions.
