This text editor design document contains: 1. An introduction describing basic features of a text editor such as creating, deleting, and saving files. 2. Details of the design methodology including algorithms using functions for menu navigation, file creation, deletion, and other operations. 3. Code snippets showing functions for password validation, menu display, file operations, and other features of the text editor.

2. ABSTRACT
Text editor is highly essential in every operating system.Without text
editor an operating system look likes ,trees without leaves.To Design
a text editor is very tough task.But I have made easy to understand.
This Design Problems gives a learning environment ,with theoretically
and practically.This Design paper contain some features,so why this
will helpful for all.The features are listed below:
1. Modulization of Design problems
2. Comment line in programme
3. Best approach of Algorithms provided
4. Best working model on file
So,these features of text editor in this paper make different to
all.

4. INTRODUCTION
A text editor is used to edit plain text files. Text editors differ from word processors,
such as Microsoft Word or WordPerfect in that they do not add additional formatting
information to documents. You might write a paper in Word, because it contains tools
to change fonts, margins, and layout, but Word by default puts that formatting and
layout information directly into the file, which will confuse the compiler. If you open a
.doc file in a text editor, you will notice that most of the file is formatting codes. Text
editors, however, do not add formatting codes, which makes it easier to compile your
code.
Text editors have a feature set different from that of a traditional word processing
program. For example most won't let you include pictures, or include tables, or
double-space your writing. The features of text editors vary from implementation to
implementation, but there are several kinds of features that most editors have. Below
are listed some of the most common and useful features.
1.Creating a new file
2.Delete an existing file
3.Save a file
4.counting of charaters,words,ros,coloms and etc.
These are basic work of a text editor. An advance text editor contains many features as
following:
1.coloring
2.Font changing
3.Draw panel

5. PREREQUISITE
There are some prerequisite for Design a text editor as given following:
1.Knowledge of „c‟ language
2.Best knowledge of file handling
3.Linux operating

6. DESIGNED METHHODOLOGY
To Design a text editor a plan should must keep in mind which segments
are require at which position.First of all create all requied module using
structures or functions. In this project I have used mostly functions,
becaude it will easily understandable.There are two important steps for
writing a progrrame for text editor as following:
1.Algorithm
2.Code
Now, at first I am discussing about “algorithm” using functions.
ALGORITHM:
F1.
void passwd()
step
1. Enter your name in “name”
2. Enter your age in “age”
3. Pass=rand()/10000+age+(int)name
4. Print remember your password
5. Enter your password in “pas”
6. If (pas==pass) Then call show() function
Else
Print Invalid password try again
Goto step 5.
7. Stop.
void show()

7. step1.print “press following key as given menu:1.Menu 2.Search 3.View
4.Help” in key
Step2: if (key=1)
Then call menu() function
Else if (key=2)
Then call search() function
Else if(key=3)
Then call view() function
Else if(key=4)
Then call help() function
Else
Print “Sorry wrong choice”
Goto step1.
Step3: exit.
void Create()
Step1: call show() function
Step2:open an exist file fp1=fopen(“temp.txt”,”w+”)
Step3: print “Type your text and press ESCAPE to save”
Step4:while(1)
C=getchar();

8. countc++;
fputc(c,fp1);
if(c==13),then
rows++;
row=rows;
else if(c==32),then
countw1++;
countw=countw1;
else if(c==8),then
countc1--;
countc=countc1;
else if(c == 27),then
close file:fclose(fp1)
Step5:call count() function
Step6:print “Enter filename ” in fn
Step7:open both file temp.txt and fn
Step8:while(!feof(fp1))
c=getc(fp1)
putc(c,fp2)
Step9:exit

9. void Delete()
Step1:call function show()
Step2:Enter a file to be deleted in fn
Step3:Open the file i.e fp=fopen(fn, ”r”)
If(fp==NULL),then
Print “File not found
Step4:rm=remove(fn)
If(rm==0),then
Printf “file successfully deleted”
Step5:exit
void Display()
Step1:call show() function
Step2:Enter filename to be open in fn
Step3:open file i.e fp=fopen(fn,”r”)
If(fp==NULL),then
Print “file not found”
Else
While(!feof(fn))
C=getc(fn)
Print value of „c‟
Step4:exit

10. void search()
Step1:call function show()
Step2:Enter string to be search in str
Step3:system(grep “$str” temp.txt)
Step4:exit
void menu()
Step1:Enter you choice from list:”1.new file 2.open 3.open with editing
4.delete 0.exit” in choice
Step2:if(choice=1),then
Call function create()
Else If(choice==2),then
Call function display()
Else If(choice==3),then
Call function append()
Else if(choice==4),then
Call function delete()
Else
Exit(0)
Step3:exit

11. void count()
Step1:print number of characters is “countc”
Step2:print number of words is “countw”
Step3:print numbers of rows is “row”
Step4:exit
