vi search/replace using a set
Hi,
I'm trying to do a global search/replace in vi using a set - I want to find every occurance of a carriage return followed by a character and replace it with a space. I've tried the following: :%s/\n[a-z][A-Z]/ [a-z][A-Z]/g It does the search ok, but it replaces the characters with the literal value "[a-z][A-Z]" How do i escape the replace condition to use the set? Thanks a million! -Hud |
