How to paste string yanked into an edit in cmd mode?
I have 2 files open in Vim at the same time.

I yank from one with

Code:
16yw

and get this

Code:
INSERT INTO ALIS_PART_MANU_PART_TAB (SEQUENCE_NO,PART_NO,MANU_NO,MANU_PART_NO,ROWVERSION) VALUES (

Now I go to the second file and type the command to add this to the beginning of every line

Code:
:.,$s/^/

but I can't get it to paste into the command?

I have tried p,P and combinations of this command.

What is the command?

I need:

Code:
:.,$s/^/INSERT INTO ALIS_PART_MANU_PART_TAB (SEQUENCE_NO,PART_NO,MANU_NO,MANU_PART_NO,ROWVERSION) VALUES (/g


thanks.

Not sure about vim but in vi you would use a named buffer for such...

At that point, in vim, CTRL-R" (control-r followed by a double quote) will expand to whatever text is in the unnamed register (which would be the 16 words yanked if no other operations have written to that register).

Thank you!

I was trying named buffers but could not get it to work.
