Tim, and Christian:
I have reduced the file to something very short - however, at some point the
error changed to E147: Cannot do :global recursive. Here is the short version:
###########
2010.09.06
Enter more city directory data - I already have quite a lot for my family in
spreadsheets.
###########
There are 5 lines, the last one being empty. Lines 3 and 4 are each terminated
by a LF.
I'm not sure if I may be misunderstanding the original proposal, to do
:g/^\</'{+,'}-j
Was it intended that the entire file should be visually selected first? I
hadn't thought so.
Thanks for your assistance,
John
