My super fantastic non counting way is as follows: yy p v<End> r= So, yank and put the Header line. Hit v to enter character-wise visual mode. Hit the <End> key to highlight from the beginning of the "H" to the end of the line. Hit r (to replace the entire visually selected area) Hit = (to replace the select with the character "=" or "-").
