you need to tell Vim where you want to insert the range into the replacement text for the user-defined command. You do this by including the escape sequence <range> in the replacement text. In your case :command! -range=% Pj <range>!python -m json.tool should do the trick. Regards, Jürgen -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
