_EdGetLinePos( ) API Library Routine
Returns the offset position of the first character of the specified line in the file in the specified editing window.
EDPOS _EdGetLinePos(WHANDLE wh, EDLINE theLine)
WHANDLE wh; /* Handle of editing window. */
EDLINE theLine; /* Line number. */
Example
The following example opens an editing session for a file specified by a parameter and gets the EDPOS for line 12 by calling _EdGetLinePos( ). It then calls _EdGetLineNum( ) on this EDPOS, and this returns 12. Next, it increments the EDPOS and each time calls _EdGetLineNum( ) until the EDLINE returned is changed. At this point, it calls _EdGetLinePos( ) for line 13.
