whenever I copy a code to vi session from other script it just goes weird.
It just goes across the whole screen and looks really bizzare
If the code is small I can manually remove the tabs and indent it correctly but if it is 2000 lines it makes it really difficult.
Is there something I can do about it and how can I copy efficiently without getting the code all over the place.
if the text you are copying to a vi session is from a script, i would have the script dump its output to a file, then edit it like that.
ie:
./somescript > someoutputfile
If you are using vim then you might get better results by doing ":se paste" before the paste operation. Remember to reset the setting i.e. ":se nopaste" when going back to normal editting.
# check that the file exists
Say Hello all
Do it correctly
place it on the server
Do all you can
Save as much as you can
Think for the rainy day
Life is a bed of thorns and face it,either smilingly or you wet ur face
Now when I copy these lines and paste it on a vi i.e.
vi tmp_rooh.ksh
It looks like the one below

I want it to look exactly the same as the one in .txt and not like the one above.
Hope this makes it a bit clear.
If it just a few lines of code I can manually do it but there are codes of 1000's of lines and I need to copy them from the text file and put it on unix .

The code pasted in the second part has changed it's formatting in here.
CAN YOU PLEASE TRY PASTING THE CODE ON YOUR VI session and hopefully you'll see what I mean as IT's formatting it here quiet well and thus I can't show you here.
