Hi,
Is there a way to split a line automatically like awk would? Given "A quick brown fox jumped over ", awk '{print $3}' ... ==> brown or like in perl split(':',$line)... I'd like to do within vim something like :s/{some notation}/\3 without having to define the pattern :s/\(\S\+\) \(\S\+\) \(\S\+\) ... /\3 ==> brown using white space, and if needed, by defining my own separator Thanks.
