Full Discussion: global substitution in VI
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users global substitution in VI Post 302165867 by System Shock on Saturday 9th of February 2008 01:09:58 PM
Old 02-09-2008
If you open a file in vi and it is a continuous line, it means there are no carriage returns in your file (or at least any that vi understands), so s/$/^M/ will only put a ^M at the very end of the one big line. vi has no idea when your lines are supposed to end, how do you expect vi to recognize that?
I have no idea how you are trying to view this file, I'm guessing you are trying to view it in a windows app because you are trying to append ^M, and that is how vi "interprets" the DOS carriage return when vi opens a text file written in windows, but it doesn't mean that your windows app is going to interpret ^M as a carriage return, it is just going to see it as two characters: ^ and M.

x-tile

X-TILE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 X-TILE(1)

NAME

       x-tile - select windows and adjust their tiling

SYNOPSIS

       x-tile [option][rows][columns]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the x-tile command.

       x-tile is a program that allows tiling selected windows as desired.

       In addition of the predefined tilings, it allows user to create up to two user defined tilings to be applied later.

       It also provides a system tray icon for faster access to tiling menu.

OPTIONS

       This program doesn't follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Instead, it uses case sen-
       sitive single letter options, followed by arguments when required.  A summary of options is included below.

       w      Open the x-tile main window without using the panel.

       z      Undo the latest tiling operation.

       v      Tile all opened windows vertically.

       h      Tile all opened windows horizontally.

       u      Tile all opened windows triangularly, top up.

       d      Tile all opened windows triangularly, top down.

       l      Tile all opened windows triangularly, top left.

       r      Tile all opened windows triangularly, top right.

       q      Tile all opened windows in a four square grid.

       g      Tile all opened windows in a grid with the given rows and columns.

       1      Apply user defined tiling #1 to all opened windows.

       2      Apply user defined tiling #2 to all opened windows.

       i      Invert the order of the latest tiling operation.

       m      Maximize all opened windows.

       M      Unmaximize all opened windows.

       c      Close all opened windows.

       Any other
	      Show a brief summary of options.
