Re: vi or vim replace ,$ (eol) with just a comma
Weeellllll, ok MS Word lets you replace comma + ^013 which takes a comma plus the carriage returns/line feeds/^M and leave just the comma and concatenates any line which had previously a comma (or any other character) and a new line. Sure takes a long time, and much CPU. At least it works.
Would still like to know how to do this in vi or vim, as I remember needing this before. Thanks, Dan

srec_ascii_hex
srec_ascii_hex(5) File Formats Manual srec_ascii_hex(5)
NAME
srec_ascii_hex - Ascii-Hex file format
DESCRIPTION
This format is also known as the Ascii-Space-Hex or Ascii-Hex-Space format. If you know who invented this format, please let me know. If
you have a better or more complete description, I'd like to know that, too.
The file starts with a start-of-text (STX or Control-B) character (0x02). Everything before the STX is ignored.
Each data byte is represented as 2 hexadecimal characters, followed by an "execution character". The default execution character is a
space, although many programs which write this format omit the space character immediately preceding end-of-line.
The address for data bytes is set by using a sequence of $Annnn, characters, where nnnn is the 4-character ascii representation of the
address. The comma is required. There is no need for an address record unless there are gaps. Implicitly, the file starts a address 0 if
no address is set before the first data byte.
The file ends with an end-of-text (ETX or Control-C) character (0x03). Everything following the ETX is ignored.
It is also possible to specify a running 16-bit checksum using a sequence of $Snnnn, characters, although this usually appears after the
ETX character and is thus often ignored.
Variant Forms
In addition to a space character, the execution character can also be percent (%) called "ascii-hex-percent" format, apostrophe (') or
comma (,) called "ascii-hex-comma" format. The file must use the same execution character throughout.
If the execution character is a comma, the address and checksum commands are terminated by a dot (.) rather than a comma (,).
Size Multiplier
In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 3.0 times when represented with this format.
EXAMPLE
Here is an example ascii-hex file. It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x1000.
^B $A1000,
48 65 6C 6C 6F 2C 20 57 6F 72 6C 64 0A ^C
