The typical way to write a "linedo" command is :g/^/command which is subtly different from :g/./command in the event that a line is empty. For your use-case, it doesn't change anything, but if your change should also happen on empty line, you'd want to use the "^" pattern because every line has one of those. > 2) It just occurred to me that, for this specific case > (reformatting each line), you could use "fmt -s" (at least on > Unix/GNU version of "fmt"). which, if it would work, you could pipe the range through fmt: :%!fmt -s Always nice to have options :-) -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
