Hi, thank you very much to both of you.
I'm sorry I didn't post earlier but I didn't had the time to try your
tips
After experiment a little, I finally solved it by:
g/^\d\+\./exec '.w! >> '.(['Buddingtonite.txt', 'Alunite.txt',
'calcite.txt', 'kaolinite.txt'][line('.')%6])
g seems to be a very powerful command that I really need to learn.
I got a few questions for you:
John
what exactly does the + and the , ?
I understand +,+ jumps a line (so is not deleted), but for the file C
you just use +
Tim
^\d\+\. any line that begins with one (or more) decimal numbers
followed by a dot
I don't understand everything this part
/exec '.w! >> '.(['D', '', '', 'A', 'B', 'C'][line('.')%6])
after exec, can you write any command?
.w what is this dot for?
>> like > in shell?
'. again, what is this dot for?
(['D', '', '', 'A', 'B', 'C'][line('.')%6]) I think I understand it,
but where can I read about this kind of things?
([List of files][a way to send different parts to the different files
in the previous list])
line('.') why '.' ? is there a way to chose characters, words or
paragraphs instead of lines?
To both of you
where can I read about g command?
I have tried :help g, but I get " 2.4 Commands starting with 'g' "
Again, thank you for your fast answers and sorry about my late one.
Sorry about my English too, just in case.
