i have a file ( actually a group of them ) and i need to
delete the quotation marks in each file, i am sure that vim
has a tool for this.
For a single file, you want to use
:%s/"//g
For multiple files, you might want:
:set hidden
:argdo %s/"//g
(review your changes)
:wall
(to write all the changes).
If they're funky "windows" quotes, you may have to copy&paste
them, perhaps using control-R followed by whichever register
holds the copied quote (either an asterisk/plus-sign for the
system clipboard, or the double-quote register).
You can read more at
:help :s
:help i_CTRL-R
:help registers
Hope this helps,
-tim
