Hi gurus:
I am trying to add a word on every line (right in front of every line) via vi.
Right now I have:
x
x
x
after that, I want to have:
new word x
new word x
new word x
How could I do that with vi?
preface each line:
:%s/^/new word /g

The trailing g isn't needed because you only need one substitution on
each line. Thus:
:%s/^/new word /
