Hi all. I have a working proof-of-concept (i.e. it's currently a mess) of recursive :globals. Some examples.
To replace `bar' with `baz' if it's on a line immediately preceding `foo' use :g/foo/ -g/bar/ s//baz/ or alternatively :g/bar/ k m | +g/foo/ 'm s/bar/baz/ With the following in a buffer, 1 2 @ 3 4 @ 5 6 to add as many dashes after each non-`@' line as there are `@'s :v/@/ k m | g/@/ 'm s/$/-/ giving 1-- 2-- @ 3-- 4-- @ 5-- 6-- For four dashes after every non-`@' line this works: :v/@/ k m | g/@/ g/@/ 'm s/$/-/ So a nested :global still has a default range of %; I'm not sure whether that is right. And you get eight levels of recursion at the cost of an extra byte of storage per line. Would anyone be interested in this? Or is it too much of a departure from the vi model? --Antony --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
