I can search for the LF with /^v^m, but I don't know what to put in to substitue the CR/LF for DOS. I know that there are utils that do this, but I just wanted to see if it could be done in vi as a point of curiosity. If not does anyone have a sed or perl script that does the same thing? Thanks in advance. you're pretty close, actually. in ex mode (press ESC) :%s/<ctrl-v><enter>//g will do the job inside vi dumping the CR and leaving the LF. Of course there are many easy ways to do with sed or perl.... <p> -- Scott Harney<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP Key fingerprint = 6D 31 C3 00 77 8C D1 C2 59 0A 01 E3 AF 81 94 63 ================================================ BRLUG - The Baton Rouge Linux User Group Visit http://www.brlug.net for more information.
