Help! In copying data from an OpenOffice spreadsheet into a text file via vim, I selected the entire columns in the spreadsheet, rather than just the cells of interest. After all of the cells with data were pasted, vim continued to paste blank lines, and ctrl-C was ineffective at breaking out. I finally killed the process, but the original terminal window continued to act strange. Worse yet, it appears that there was a rogue process, which went on to consume the entire free space of my hard drive (many GB), and I was forced to shut down. Upon restarting, the file space is still gone. I suspect there is a temp file stashed somewhere, but it doesn't appear to be in any of the usual places.
Any clues? Thanks, Andy -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
