Console-Based Editor - Multi-Line - 2025
OVERVIEW
In this assignment, you are going to design and develop a simple, basic console-based editor to support
multi-line editing. Unlike the modern, advanced editor such as Microsoft Word which provides users
with a sophisticated editing environment, utilizing the high-resolution of the graphical screen together
with the mouse and the keyboard to position and adjust any text and figures displayed on the screen,
giving us the WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) experience.
In the early days, lacking access to a rich graphical display and mouse, the functionality of editors was
limited, providing only a much simpler user interface, usually console-based. Editing was carried out
based on simple text commands entered via the keyboard, commands such as inserting (i) and
appending (a) a text string, positioning the editor cursor one character position to the left (h), one
character position to the right (l), one-word position forwards (w), one-word position backwards (b), and
so on.

SCOPE
1. Complete all the following editor commands:
• NOTE: Refer to the section “Specific Spec” for more information on particular
requirements and the section “Assumptions” for any conditions for which the program
is designed and implemented.
2. Case-sensitive commands - all editor commands are case-sensitive, for example, the capital
letter ‘A’ does not equal the lowercase letter ‘a’.
3. Command types - most commands are single-letter (in lower case) commands (such as ?, $, x, ^,
…etc), while some are two-letter (such as dw). Most commands do not require extra input,
while a few do, such as insert (i) and append (a).
4. Command prompt (>) - The prompt is a single character string ‘>’ by calling input(‘>’). See the
screenshots on the first page.

5. Command Syntax - “Command[Text]”, where “Command” is one of the commands shown in
step 1, “Text” applies only to commands requiring extra input such as insert (i) and append (a).
Any commands whose description includes a substring enclosed in “<>” brackets require extra
input “Text”. “LineNo” is an integer value indicating the line number to which the line cursor
position is set.
6. Command Parsing - the user types a single command and then presses the return key to
continue. Parse each command string according to “Command Syntax” to ensure that the input
string matches EXACTLY one of the commands from step 1, including the extra input “Text” if
required. When invalid input is entered, simply display another prompt as illustrated in the
following screenshot.
a. Examples of valid command input:
i. “$”
ii. “^”
iii. “h”
iv. “l”
v. “ahello world”
vi. “i hello world “
b. Examples of invalid command input:
i. “ $”
ii. “ ?”
iii. “? “
iv. “ ahello world”
v. “i”
7. Command Execution - the editor will repeatedly prompt the user to enter an editor command,
parse the input according to the “Command Syntax”, execute the command (if valid), and then
output the latest editor content (even there are no changes to the content) on the display
console (except for commands ‘?’ and ‘q’, see Note follows). After the editor content is
displayed, the editor will display another prompt (‘>’) on a new line. Refer to the section
“Sample Output” for more examples.

CSC1002 – Computational Laboratory
Note: when the help command (?) is entered, output only the help menu as shown in step 1;
when the quit command (‘q’) is entered, terminate the program.
NOTE:
• Keep your entire source code in ONE SINGLE file.
• Use only Python modules as specified in the “Permitted Modules” section.
• In your design stick ONLY to functions, in other words, no class objects of your own.
o Furthermore, the lines of code containing the sub-function(s) defined within another
function will be counted as part of the parent function.
o NOTE: Failure to adhere to the instructions outlined in the assignment handout will
result in a 50% reduction in the coding style score.
SPECIFIC SPEC
1. Editor content - the editor shows its content, if any, as a single or multiple lines of text string
constructed by one or multiple Insert/Append/Paste commands. If the row cursor is enabled, it
shows its position in a color such as green. If the line cursor is enabled, the content will be
shifted one space to the right to show line cursor as a ‘*’ symbol. When the editor program
initially starts, its content is empty. Refer to the section “Sample Output” for more examples.
2. Row cursor - it’s used to show where the cursor is on the current row if not empty. In other
words, the cursor will appear on printable characters including space. The cursor is shown by
wrapping a character with a pair of escape character strings such as “\033[42m” and “\033[0m”.
For example, given a string “hello world”, to show the green cursor at the position of the letter
‘e’, this is the string to print: “h” + “\033[42m” + “e” + “\033[0m” + “llo world”.
3. Insert - the given string “Text” will be inserted to the left of the cursor and the cursor position
will be changed to the beginning of the “Text” string.
4. Append - the given string “Text” will be inserted to the right of the current cursor position and
the cursor position will be changed to the end of the “Text” string.
5. Delete word - delete all characters from the cursor position to the beginning of the next word or
to the end of the line. When all characters are deleted, the line becomes empty. Refer to the
following figures for an illustration.
CSC1002 – 2025 Winter By Kinley Lam

6. Delete Character - delete the character at cursor. When all characters are deleted, the line
becomes empty.
7. Cursor left and right - when repositioning the cursor to the left or right, one or multiple
positions, and if the cursor is already at the far left or far right position, leave the cursor where it
is.
8. Undo - it’s used to reverse the action of the last valid command, including change(s), if any,
made to the editor content and/or the cursor (row, line) position(s). Once a command is
undone, it’s no longer available for future Undo and Repeat. If multiple consecutive undo
commands are executed, each will undo one command at a time in the reverse order that the
commands were originally executed. For example, given the last 2 valid commands are “ahello”
followed by “a world”, the first undo command will reverse the “a world”, and the second
consecutive undo command will reverse “ahello”. Commands such as “s” and “?’ are not
candidates for Undo as they do not make any changes to the editor content, the same applies to
Repeat command. Refer to the following figure for an illustration.
9. Repeat - The “Repeat” command is used to re-execute the last valid command and it offers the
convenience of sparing the user from retyping it again. Commands “u”, “?”, and “s” are not
candidates for the “Repeat” command as these commands do not directly update the editor
content. For example, consider the command sequence: “ahello”, “a world”, “?”, “s” and “u”. If
the command “r” is subsequently entered multiple times, each Repeat command will always re execute “ahello”. Refer to step “Undo followed by Repeat” for another illustration.
10. Undo followed by Repeat - In this case, the “Undo” is not considered as the last command and
the "Repeat" command is used to target the command immediately preceding the "Undo"
command, not the most recent action performed. Any command entered prior to the "Undo"
will be re-executed upon triggering the "Repeat" command. Refer to the following figure for an
illustration.

11. b command - it moves the cursor to the beginning of the word to the left of the cursor, provided
that such a word exists; if no such word exists, the cursor remains stationary. If the cursor is
positioned within a word, it will be placed at the first letter of that word. Refer to the following
figure for an illustration.
12. w command - it moves the cursor to the beginning of the word to the right of the cursor,
provided that such a word exists; if no such word exists, the cursor remains stationary.
13. Word - a word is defined as a sequence of consecutive characters including punctuation but not
white space, in other words, any group of characters without spaces is considered a single word,
even if it includes punctuation marks. Refer to the following figure for an illustration.

14. Line Copy - it’s used to copy or duplicate the content of the current line, including newly
inserted empty lines. The copied line is then pasted into the editor content using the Paste
command. Only one copied line is kept at a time, in other words, subsequent “Line Copy” will
replace the cached line with the content of the current line. When the editor’s content is
empty, the Line Copy command will not perform any action.
15. Line cursor - it’s used to show the current row being edited by prefixing it with a character ‘*’,
while other rows are shown with a single space. Refer to the following figure(s) for an
illustration.
16. Cursor up and down - when repositioning the cursor to the line either above or below and if its
length is shorter, position the cursor to the end of the line (similar to ‘$’). If the cursor is already
on the first or the last line, do not jump the cursor from top to bottom and vice versa, in other
words, leave the row cursor where it is. Refer to the following figure(s) for an illustration.
17. Empty Line insert Above/Below - it inserts an empty row above or below the current line and
adjusts the line cursor accordingly. Refer to the following figure(s) for an illustration.
CSC1002 – 2025 Winter By Kinley Lam
CSC1002 – Computational Laboratory
18. Line Paste Above/Below - it pastes the last copied line(s) above or below the current line and
adjusts the line cursor accordingly. Adjust the row cursor position as if it was re-positioned by
having it moved up or down from the current line to the pasted line. Refer to the following
figure(s) for an illustration.
19. Line Delete - delete the current line and adjusts the line and row cursors accordingly. Refer to
the following figure(s) for an illustration.

ASSUMPTIONS
1. The goal of this assignment is to illustrate the benefits of “Problem Decomposition”, “Clean
Coding” and “Refactoring”, all together achieving high code readability to ease logic expansion
and keep high maintainability, therefore, it’s not aimed at designing a complex, general-purpose
editor for handling large editing content.
2. It’s assumed that the length of each line is kept within a reasonable length so that each line can
be stored directly using the standard Python ‘str’ type. The number of lines is also kept within a
reasonable number so that all lines can be kept in one standard Python list and the lines can be
efficiently updated using the standard list and str operations such as append, insert, slicing,
cloning, …etc.
3. Each test case is designed to evaluate the functionality and correctness of your program, rather
than its speed, performance and memory usage. Each test case consists of multiple editing
commands with short “Text” and small “Repeater” values.
4. The text editor is required to handle only regular English characters, thus additional unicode
support, if any, is unnecessary.

PERMITTED MODULES
Only the following Python module(s) is allowed to be used:
• re (regular expression)
DELIVERABLES
Program source code (A3_School_StudentID.py), where School is SSE, SDS, SME, HSS, FE, LHS, MED and
StudentID is your 9-digit student ID.
For instance, a student from SME with student ID “119010001” will name the Python file as follows:
• A3_SME_119010001.py:
Ensure that your source file is saved in standard, regular UTF-8 encoding format. On the status bar of
Visual Studio Code, you can view the current encoding format as follows:
On an occasion, the encoding scheme is set to UTF-8 with BOM as follows:
The presence of the Byte Order Mark (BOM) could be due to copying from websites, older version of
editor, file conversion from other sources, default encoding setting, and so on.
Confirm the encoding scheme is UTF-8 and the file name is correct, then submit the plain program file to
the corresponding assignment folder. A deduction of 5% will be penalized if the file is incorrectly named
or in wrong encoding format.
TIPS & HINTS
• Apply problem decomposition, Clean Code and Refactoring as illustrated during classes.
• Beware of variable scope as you might keep a few variables as global such as current editor
content, cursor position, undo buffer, and so on.
• Refer to Python website for program styles and naming conventions (PEP 8)

MARKING CRITERIA
• Coding Styles – overall program structure including layout, comments, white spaces, naming
convention, variables, indentation, functions with appropriate parameters and return.
• Program Correctness – whether or the program works 100% as per Scope.
• User Interaction – how informative and accurate information is exchanged between your
program and the player.
• Readability counts – programs that are well structured and easy to follow using functions to
break down complex problems into smaller cleaner generalized functions are preferred over a
function embracing a complex logic with many nested conditions and branches! In other words,
a design with a clean architecture and high readability is the predilection for the course
objectives over efficiency. The logic in each function should be kept simple and short, and it
should be designed to perform a single task and be generalized with parameters as needed.
• KISS approach – Keep It Simple and Straightforward.
• Balance approach – you are not required to come up with a very optimized solution. However,
take a balance between readability and efficiency with good use of program constructs.
