script to insert lines

Greetings all, I've got lots of Java classes whose fields need Xml attributes - sounds like a perfect job for a Vim script! Given some lines like: private String lName; private String fName; private String eAddr; private int age; I need the script to produce @XmlElement(name = LName) private

function to apply multiple whole-file substitutions

Greetings all, I'm trying to craft a function to apply a series of pattern-matching substitutions to the file. So far I've got this in my .vimrc function Scrub () :%s// /g :%s/\s*$//g endfunction map :call Scrub () but it's not working, seems to complain about lack of line-endings. Would

function for global text replacement

greetings all, I'm trying to create a function in my .vimrc that will apply a series of global pattern-matching substitutions but am having some trouble. Here's what I've got so far: function Scrub () :%s/TAB/ /gCR :%s/\s*$//gCR endfunction map silentF7 :call Scrub () I'm probably not

Re: encrypted files

Or some such? Or do any of you have something to make sure creating/reading/writing/ vim encrypted files are as secure as possible? vim 7.3 has mostly-transparent blowfish encryption baked-in, see: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=4870 HTH, Still-learning Stuart -- You

Re: macro for an affine cipher

So there you have it. How can I achieve this? Is there something wrong with Vim's built-in Blowfish encryption? I was unaware of its existance. There's a nice writeup about it from just two weeks ago here: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/security/?p=4870 Seems worth the effort to upgrade

Re: macro for an affine cipher

HAPPY NEW YEAR everybody! I've made some progress for my quest to secure my files. Having seen that vim can interact with perl using :perl and :.perldo , I've dropped the affine cipher in favor of just using perl's existing crypto modules available at www.cpan.org . So I've built a perl

macro for an affine cipher

Greetings and Happy Holidays, I'm a long-time user of vim but new to vim macros. Wanting to go a few steps beyond rot13, I'd like to build a macro that implements an affine cipher. I see where vim can do modular arithmetic, so the questions are: 1. can vim do char->int and int->char
