In your case you only forgot to include the "\n" in your pattern, so Vim leaves it in, which means you still have an empty line, but including it in your :s command should also work: :%s/foobar\n// deletes all lines ending in foobar. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
