Thanks for your reply.

1. You can do <n>,$y in the command mode where n is the number of line and $ represents end of file. e.g. :15,$y
What about if I don't know the line number? Is there a way in vi to show the line number with each line? And what would be the command to copy lines from any line to begining of file ie 1st line?
Quote:
2. you can just enter the line number in command mode. e.g. :20 with place the cursor at line 20.
That works fine.
Quote:
3. You can always do a set nu in command mode and check it.
Can you pls give me example of this?
Quote:
4. Do a !<command name> in escape mode.
Yeah, that worked for me

5. Can you eloborate more on what you want.
Suppose I want add a line "Test Line" after line number 11, without opening vi, is it possible?
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Cheers,
Patras

NAME
page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require page::util::quote ?0.1?
package require snit
::page::util::quote::unquote char
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.
API
::page::util::quote::unquote char
A character, as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the result
of the command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser and
will generate a human readable representation of the character in question. The string is returned as the result of this command.
The string does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser when
used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.
