Hi All,
I'm hoping this is an easy question, but I'm having a weird problem trying to simply copy and paste text from MS Windows (XP) Notepad and then pasting into vi or vim in AIX. When I type "oslevel" I get "5.3.0.0". The problem is that once the text is pasted, there are sections of text missing. I have tried:
1. pasting into vi from MS windows notepad. this caused all sorts of alignment and extra spacing issues.
2. pasting into vim. i tried to use :set paste, but get the random missing lines of text issue.
3. i tried the command in vim, :set clipboard=unnamed but that didn't work either.
Any thoughts? Seems like there is a buffer setting that needs to be tweaked or something, but i'm pulling out my hair (what's left of it) here.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!
