FILe Generator and Editor
- FILe Generator and Editor
An acronym for FILe Generator and Editor, FILGE was a command-oriented text editor created by CompuServe in the early 1970s. Its many commands were preceded by a slash (/) character. For example, if a text file contained the line:
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
The word 'fox' could be replaced with 'wolf' using this command:
"/c/fox/wolf"
To see the result of the edit, the user could type:
"/p"
and in this case, would see
"The quick brown wolf jumped over the lazy dog"
There were many other commands, which later including a repeating capability, which allow significant file manipulations to be performed without the need to write special programs. FILGE was replaced by screen oriented WYSIWYG editors.
