Data Vi editor, copy one column?
This is an vi editor question. I do not know is this a right place to ask this question or not?
I have a file with the following contents,

Code:
10 11 
20 21
30 31

I want to copy first column that is 10,20,30 after second column, so that output will look like the following,
Code:
10 11 10
20 21 20
30 31 30

How can I do that in VI editor through command mode (i.e. ":")?
