Create a macro like this ....in vo editor


:map #1 :%!cut -c -5^M


by creating this macro ... u can press F1 key to get yr command executed.

U can also put set of those command in $HOME./.exrc file
and those macros will be automatically loaded for each vi session for them to be used.

Note : ^M is nothing but CTRL+V followed by CTRL+M
