Vi. changing txt into table
just discover this thread. It sounds perfect for me because I am following an online course on command line tools and some instruction ... seems not be replicable on my Terminal
Here is an example on a txt file with n rows each containing 3 word separated by a space.
a b c
d e f
....
after entering in the vi editor what I want is to convert the file into a tabular structure.
The command provided is
:1,$s/ / ^I/g
on the opposite to what the instructor got (table) mine is just
a ^Ib ^Ic
d ^Ie ^If
...
can anyone help or saying if it is possible that is the terminal that misinterpreted the command?
Thanks a lot
