Slides for "See Vim Run. Run, Vim, Run!"

[Bill Odom]

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know I posted a PDF of the slides from Wednesday's talk here:

    http://www.billodom.com/blog/slides-from-see-vim-run-run-vim-run/

I believe I added slides and notes for most of the examples I covered during the talk, as well as a few we didn't have time for. Please let me know if I missed anything, or if you've got any questions.

Thanks,

Bill

Hi Bill,

Thanks for sharing those slides! Among other things, I didn't know about !! rerunning the last command.

Do you know the difference these two?

:.! ls

:r! ls

They both give the same results as far as I can tell. I don't remember where learned about using the period instead of r.

Thanks,

Christopher

The ":.! ls" takes the current line (.), pipes it to your command (ls), and replaces the current line with the result. The ls command ignores. standard input.

You can also use a range - try doing something like "1,4!wc". You'll replace the first four lines of your file with the number of lines (4), number of words and number of bytes that were in the first four lines.
