Hi, I am trying to automate this:
There is a file, which contains one path/filename at each line. Lines with equal files (contents wise) are grouped together. Groups are separated by "# ---' (or whatever you want). To sort the lines of one group only I want to put the group into a visual block (correcht naming?) as part of a macro. First step of the macro will be the search for a certain directory. Next will be the creation of the visual block. Since I dont know, whether the line containing the searched directory cames first in the group or last or wherever, and how large the group is, I cannot do things like "mark next 3 lines" or so. Now I am looking for the command doing "mark this group visually". How can I acchieve this? Another question is: If I have created a useful macro -- is there a way to store this macro in .vimrc (or wherever) so that it does not get lost ? Thank you very much in advance for any help ! :) Keep editing! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
