Re: vim | insert filename into file
If you don't want to put the filename on a new line as :put % does, maybe try :normal %p -dan

C-R% and %p works only in normal mode
:put %
Or, if you need to insert it at a particular place,
:10s/$/\=' '.expand('%')
will put it at the end of line #10. The basic idiom involves
replacing something (EOL, BOL, or some offset in the line) with
an evaluated expression that uses expand('%')

:help expand()

To place at the beginning of each line try :%normal %P -dan
Re: vim | insert filename into file
:put %

It inserts it on the line below where the cursor currently is.
You can specify a target (as in
:30put %
which will put it below line #30)
If you want it at the beginning of each line, you can use my
aforementioned suggestion of
:%s/^/\=expand('%').': '
(which also adds a colon and a space for visualization purposes,
but is totally omittable if you want)
-tim

works great!
Thank you all
