sorry for no OT: prefix - I wanted the techies to see the question ;-)


Does anyone have a link to a searchable vi (editor) reference?

Here's what I want to do, described using Qedit commands:

c30/30\"\@;c1\longstringplus"\@

(which changes column 30 to a " in every line of the file, and inserts
longstringplus" at column 1 in every line of the file).

My only vi reference is OReilly's vi pocket ref.

the (space-delimited) sequence <return>30|r" does part 1 one time, so I
tried
:map z ^M30|r"
so I could invoke the series via "z".  it tries to work but does something
wrong trying to use a filename grr.

So, does anybody have a link to a good searchable vi reference, please?


Thanks in advance,
