If you do need confirmation, you can do :%s/.*test.*\n//\c If you don't need confirmation, Chris gave the standard solution, except that the "%" is optional since :g defaults to the whole file. For the record, the :g command can be inverted to delete every line that *doesn't* match "test" by using :v/test/d -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
