OK. I've got a text file that looks like this:
pre
and a function that looks like this:
function! Test_func()
exe "normal ggVGyGobottom\<Esc>pVG"
'<,'>s/pre/post/
endfunction
The first line leaves me with a file that looks like this:
pre
bottom
pre
with the bottom "pre" selected. At this point I can run the second line as a
separate command to get:
pre
bottom
post
But, when I include the second line in the function and run the function as
a whole, I get:
post
bottom
pre
I'm baffled.
I think you could replace that long and complex normal command by
ex-commands. Let's see:
gg go to top
V set linewise visual
G go to bottom
y yank visual selection (whole file)
o open new line below, start insert mode
bottom "bottom"
Esc go to Normal mode
p put after
V start linewise visual
G go to bottom
'<,'>s/pre/post
the '<,'> is implicit I think. If you use it like this, Vim will fill
it to (I think):
:'<,'>'<,'>s/pre/post
but is this valid?
So, let's try (untested):
$put ='bottom' " add the word 'bottom' below the last line
$mark ' " mark the current last line
1,$-1copy $ " copy all lines except the (new) last one
" to below the last line
" the following starts with two apostrophes, not one dblquote
''+1,$s/pre/post " starting after the added "bottom" line,
" to the end, replace 'pre' by 'post'
" (at most once per line)
see
:help range
:help :put
:help quote=
:help :mark
:help :copy
Best regards,
Tony.
