Keep hacking! mcc 1. Place a mark on the first line. You have a choice of 26 names, I'll assume t for table of contents. 2. Copy your headings (e.g. with a :g command) to 't-1 (apostrophe-tee-minus-one, i.e., just above the marked line). 3. (Optional, and version 7 only) :delmark t Best regards, Tony.

Keep hacking! mcc You could use the reverse lines trick to reorder the copied lines. Use the following to put the lines at the top of the file: :let cnt=0|g/(regexp)/copy 0|let cnt=cnt+1 Then re-reverse the copied lines at the top of the file: :exe 1,.cnt.g/^/m0 Easy enough to put that into a function passing the 'regexp' to it... - Dave

Then, having saved line($) before adding lines, you know how many lines to :move to the top. plug Some time ago, answering a similar question on this list, I wrote the Pippo() function and added it to foo.vim, my file of example vim functions: http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=72 This is more of an index function than a table-of-contents function: it searches for words (matching a given regular expression) and appends them to the end of the file, one per line. /plug HTH --Benji Fisher
