2.4.13 A Readline Example

Here is a function which changes lowercase characters to their uppercase equivalents, and uppercase characters to lowercase. If this function was bound to ‘M-c’, then typing ‘M-c’ would change the case of the character under point. Typing ‘M-1 0 M-c’ would change the case of the following 10 characters, leaving the cursor on the last character changed.

 
/* Invert the case of the COUNT following characters. */
int
invert_case_line (count, key)
     int count, key;
{
  register int start, end, i;

  start = rl_point;

  if (rl_point >= rl_end)
    return (0);

  if (count < 0)
    {
      direction = -1;
      count = -count;
    }
  else
    direction = 1;
      
  /* Find the end of the range to modify. */
  end = start + (count * direction);

  /* Force it to be within range. */
  if (end > rl_end)
    end = rl_end;
  else if (end < 0)
    end = 0;

  if (start == end)
    return (0);

  if (start > end)
    {
      int temp = start;
      start = end;
      end = temp;
    }

  /* Tell readline that we are modifying the line,
     so it will save the undo information. */
  rl_modifying (start, end);

  for (i = start; i != end; i++)
    {
      if (_rl_uppercase_p (rl_line_buffer[i]))
        rl_line_buffer[i] = _rl_to_lower (rl_line_buffer[i]);
      else if (_rl_lowercase_p (rl_line_buffer[i]))
        rl_line_buffer[i] = _rl_to_upper (rl_line_buffer[i]);
    }
  /* Move point to on top of the last character changed. */
  rl_point = (direction == 1) ? end - 1 : start;
  return (0);
}
