Hi
I have a file where I deleted all lines that don't contain a certain pattern
For example I want to delete all lines that don't contain XXX and YYY.
Before:
[start of file]
abcde XXX fghij YYY
12345 AAA 67890 BBB
klmno XXX pqrst YYY

Hi,
Not really a request for help, but I was wondering if you guys ever use
the 's' command.
It's just a shortcut for 'cl', which I almost never need. Since I don't
assume it was put in to be complete or something, I'm intrigued by it's

Thanks for all the explanations everyone. I do see your points, and will

I can't remember why or when (it was so long ago), but I've always
used 's' and 'S' in 'vi'. It never really occured to me to use 'cl'
instead. It was just another command in the list.
It was part of the original 'vi', but I'm not sure if you meant that
