Work Goal Weeking Ending 2007-04-21

My work goal for the week ending 21/04/2007 in Hitwise is to learn at least 10 NEW Vi commands which I can apply to my day to day work, the following is the compiled list of my research, happying learning. 1. Double spacing

:%s/$/{ctrl-V}{CR}/g

2. Strip blanks at end of line:

:%s/{TAB}*$//

3. Strip DOS ctrl-M’s:

:1,$ s/{ctrl-V}{ctrl-M}//

4. Append current file to a file

:w>>file

5. Write lines 5 through 10 to file

:5,10w file

6. Append Lines 5 through 10 to file

:5,10w>>file

7. Create a shortcut for docBlock for a comment, “ab” stands for “Abbreviations”

:ab _comment /***   *  ***/

This is what you will see in vi editor:

:ab _comment /*** ^M * ^M***/

Now if you type ab and then space in the insert mode, you will see the following:

/***
 *
 ***/

8. Copy lines 5-10 to the line after 105

:5,10 co 105

9. Move lines 5-20 to end of file

:5,20 m $

10. Start a file with the cursor positioned at line 24

vi +24 myfile.txt

11. Start a file with the cursor positioned to the first occurrence of the string foo in the first file being edited

vi +/foo myfile.txt

12. Shows number of lines in file

:=
