I am looking to make some code easier to read by taking something like this:
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44 ....
and adding new lines to create increments of 8:
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44 ....
Anyone know any vim magic that will allow me to do this with specifically selected lines?
617
vim Inserting text Insert text into multiple lines at once Press Ctrl + v to enter into visual block mode. Use ↑ / ↓ / j / k to select multiple lines. Press Shift + i and start typing what you want. After you press Esc , the text will be inserted into all the lines you selected.
Step 1: Move the cursor to the line from where you would like to insert the text. Step 2: Hit Ctrl + V to enter into Visual Block and use cursor to select the first column till line where you want to stop inserting the text. Step 3: Hit Shift + i to enter into insert mode .
This is not the prettiest solution and I am sure that it can be cleaned up / simplified some. First select the text and then enter this command:
:'<,'>s/\(\S\+,\s*\)\{8}/&\r/g
This outputs something like this:
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, ...
