I'm not sure I follow the format of the file. Perhaps some (shortened) example data would help. That said, I don't know if something like :s/|/&/gn would help to let you know how many "|" characters are on a line (the usefulness of this may be contingent on your 'report' setting, which I find most helpful to set to 0 rather than the default of 2). -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
