Well, there are a couple options, again using ":argdo" to iterate over all the files. If you want to keep lines that contain "backslash u hex-digit hex-digit hex-digit hex-digit", you can do :set hidden :argdo v/\\u\x\x\x\x/d then review your changes and either save/abandon the changes. Alternatively, if you have your original file and just want to keep the "=" lines even if they don't have hex digits on them (might be integers or something else?), you can preprocess with :argdo v/=/d to delete all the lines that don't contain an "=". You can then run the previously-provided command to change the "=" to ",". If you just want to delete those lines starting with a hash, you can use :argdo g/^\s*#/d to delete them. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
