METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EDITING CHARACTER STRING AND RECORDING MEDIUM RECORDING PROGRAM FOR CHARACTER STRING EDITING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accelerate the speed of character string editing processing and to improve complexity in the control of character string editing processing. SOLUTION: This character string editing method is provided with steps A3 and A4 for reading characters out of a document data storage area one by one and judging whether the character is the delimiter of a word or not, steps A8-A11 for successively additionally storing the read character in a segmented word storage area when that character is not the delimiter, setting or resetting a hyphen flag and returning to the step A3 and steps A5-A7 and A12 for setting a line head continuation flag corresponding to the line shift character of the read character in the state of setting the hyphen flag when the read character is the delimiter, returning to the step A3 and returning to the step A3 corresponding to the state of setting the hyphen flag and the line head continuation flag.
