Hi Pete!
thank you very much for this "line of code" -- works like a charme!
The only """bad""" thing is: I dont understand completly, how it
works....
This far I got:
1,$ for the beginning of the text til its end do
/.\{73,}/ find all lines longer than 72 chars and for each do
normal ??? go into normal mode ???
v ????? visual mode (and for what is the " " good for?) ????
}gq ???????? only white noise for me....a C-programme I would
say, that there is on "}" too many in the whole expression
but simultaneously I know, that I am wrong.....???????????
Keep hacking!
