Literal backslashes and literal "ens"! What the devil? Well, you could edit it with "vi" and use :g/\\n/s//(CTRL-V)(ENTER)/g ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For the underlined part, actually press "CTRL-V", and then the ENTER key (it'll echo like "^M"). The "CTRL-V" means "interpret the next key literally--don't act on it like a command". That is a global find and replace that will look for the two character sequence "backslash-en" and replace each occurance of it with a single newline character. This text: each\nof\nthese\nshould\nbe\non\na\nseparate\nline\n would look like: each of these should be on a separate line using that command. I think that's what you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Time: Nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
