Hello,
After the following command,
:let i=0 | %g/^/let i+=1
the display changes to show the very last line.
How can I prevent the display from changing?
There are many other functions written to do this: http://www.vim.org/tips/tip.php?tip_id=1109 However, if you're looking to let i = number of lines in the buffer (which I doubt; you probably simplified what you wanted to do), you can just do :let i = line("$") HTH :) -- Gerald
