Is it possible that you make videos for normal and command-line modes as well?

Best, Mert

… well if you are not super busy with other stuff. Actually no, I don’t mind if you are busy. Make more tutorials :p

The first is probably just to use the VisIncr plugin – see the video at http://vimeo.com/4457161 and the plugin at http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=670.

You can also do this as a command-line entry like this:

let x=0 | g/dummy/s/$/\=x+1/ | let x=x+1

If you want to format the numbers to be a width of 3, padded by 0’s then you can do this:

let x=0 | g/dummy/s/$/\=printf(“%03d”,x+1)/ | let x=x+1

If you only want “dummy”s in a particular range to be modified, then do this:

let x=0 | ‘a,’bg/dummy/s/$/\=printf(“%03d”,x+1)/ | let x=x+1

where ‘a and ‘b are marks you’ve created to mark particular lines. Of course, you can use any range element in there that you want (e.g. 1,20).

I want to add number sequentially in a file and add it to the end of the line.

Just so I am clear. Let’s use and example.

dummy01
dummy02
dummy03

I have 1000 dummy’s to add but the rest has only dummy. So As you can tell this needs to be sequentially.

Any easy way to do this in vi or vim?

actually :ec$HOME works on any system. I suppose %HOME% is just copied to $HOME, same for all other vars

you could make use of this:

autocmd BufEnter * if &filetype != ‘help’ | silent! cd %:p:h | endif

instead of using ,cd every time
