Wolfgang, O'Reilly has an excellent reference book on vi available in both hardcopy and on-line form. You can view the on-line version at http://safari.oreilly.com/?x=1&mode=section&sortKey=title&sortOrder=asc&view=&xmlid=1-56592-426-6/DEDICATION-1-fm2xml&open=false&catid=&s=1&b=1&f=1&t=1&c=1&u=1&r=&o=1 If you want to write those edits as part of scripts, then there's another O'Reilly reference book you'll probably want called 'sed & awk'. There are fancier editors out there, but as everyone knows....... (get ready for it !!!) Real men use vi. ...reaching for the fire extinguisher now.... :-) --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
