Hi Tim,
somehow my email was partially deleted... ??
cat file | vim -
What stands the "-" for?
Then, clean up the stuff we don't want
1,/received/d
$?^\s*For subscribe options?,$d
to strip off the header and footer.
this worked out nicely
My first-pass solution will end up with duplicate results if
more than one of your keywords appear in the same "block"
but on diff. lines:
:let @a=''
:g/red\|relativistic/?^\s*astro-ph?,/^\s*astro-ph/-y A
:%d
:put a
:1d
:wq name_of_output.txt
this is the content of foo.vim? On separated lines? I also tried with
CTRL + V + ENTER at the end of each line, but the result was the
same...
cat input.txt | vim -s foo.vim -
when I run it I end up with an empty file... ?
I'm sorry I couldn't come up with a clean way to snag just
the unique paragraphs easily without having an instance show
up as its own result-block.
I was saying in my deleted email that in any case it's a nice
lesson... When I think that people here think I know vim... what a
shame!
Anyways, it's at least one sorta-solution to what you describe.
