A related text editing system is also provided.

Claims (30)

1. A text editing system comprising:

a touch display screen configured for displaying a text file, the touch display screen configured for determining a selected text in response to a text selection touch operation, the touch display screen configured for further displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file in response to a predetermined gesture;

a text selection determining module configured for generating parameters representative of the selected text in response to the text selection touch operation;

a first loading module configured for copying the parameters to the clipboard and controlling the touch display screen to display the parameters on the clipboard in response to a user's first loading operation;

a text searching module configured for, in response to a user's selection of the parameters displayed in the clipboard, finding the text in the text file according to the selected parameters; and

a second loading module configured for copying the found text from the text file to an intended location in response to a user's second loading operation.

2. The system as described in claim 1 , wherein the selected text includes a plurality of discrete selected text sections, and the parameters include a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding selected text section.

3. The system as described in claim 2 , wherein each parameter unit includes: a first character of the selected text section, a last character of the selected text section, a serial number, and the amount of the characters of the selected text section.

4. The system as described in claim 1 , further comprising a text deleting module configured for deleting the selected parameters in the clipboard in response to a user's second loading operation.

5. A method for text editing, the method comprising:

displaying a text file on a touch display screen;

displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file;

determining selected text in response to a text selection touch operation;

generating parameters representative of the selected text in response to the text selection touch operation;

copying the parameters to the clipboard and displaying the parameters on the displayed clipboard in response to a user's first loading operation;

in response to a user's selection of the parameters displayed in the clipboard, finding the text associated with the selected parameters in the text file; and

copying the found text from the text file to an intended location in response to a user's second loading operation.

6. The method as described in claim 5 , wherein the selected text includes a plurality of discrete selected text sections, and the parameters include a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding selected text section.

7. The method as described in claim 6 , wherein the displayed parameter units are arranged in a sequence corresponding to the sequence of selecting the text sections.

8. The method as described in claim 6 , wherein each parameter unit includes a first character of the selected text section, a last character of the selected text section, a serial number, and the amount of the characters of the selected text section.

9. A method for text editing, the method comprising:

displaying a text file on a touch display screen;

displaying a clipboard alongside of the displayed text file;

detecting text selection touch operations on the displayed text file by a user to determine text sections selected by the user;

generating a plurality of parameter units each representative of the corresponding text section in response to the respective text selection touch operations;

copying the parameter units to the clipboard and displaying the parameter units on the displayed clipboard in response to a use's first loading operation;

detecting parameter selection touch operations on the displayed clipboard by a user to determine the parameter units selected by the user;

finding the text sections in the text file according to the selected parameter units displayed on the displayed clipboard in response to a user's parameter selection operation; and

copying the found text sections from the text file to an intended location in response to a user's second loading operation.

10. The method as described in claim 9 , wherein the found text sections are arranged in a sequence corresponding to the sequence of selecting the parameter units.
