sped is a line editor written in x86 assembly. Back in the day, before visual editors, line editors like ed were used. This is my own stupid and pointless attempt at writing such line editor.
with gcc and nasm installed, you can simply run
sudo make install
to build the project
sped takes a single command line argument, the file you wish to open.
sped [file]
p - prints the contents of the current line
n - prints the current line number
+/- - moves up/down a line
g/G - jumps to top/bottom of file
c - change the contents of the current line
o/O - insert line after/before current line
d - delete current line
w - saves file
q - exists the program
what is the point of this
obviously, we live in a day and age where we have the comfort of visual editors, so line editors like these have become obsolete. i simply wanted to work on a relatively easy to implement project so i can learn some assembly.
are you insane
yes
