String-Range-List
Parameter
The string-range-list parameter is based on the string-range parameter. It
allows an optional repetition of the string-range parameter when an editor
command will accept it. Because the repetition of the string-range is
optional, an editor command offers more flexibility when the syntax
specifies a string-range- list. A string-range-list parameter can represent one
or many character strings.
Syntax of the String-Range-
List Parameter
string-range-list:
is
string-range [, string-range ] ...
