The 'VIM Regular Expressions' at http://www.geocities.com/volontir/ says

:g/^$/,/./-j
- reduce multiple blank lines to a single blank

I understand the ':g/^$/' part, but not the ',/./-j' part.

Anybody cares to explain this?

TIA,

Guido.

well, it's been explained by Tim Chase after your first message.

Oops, I had (re)subscribed half an hour before the first post. My post nor the answer appeared in my mailbox, probably while the subscription process wasn't finished yet. So I thought the initial message never made it to the list and decided to post anew. After your reply, I browsed the yahoo archives and yes, I found the original post and Tom's answer.
Sorry for the noise.
And, Tim, thanks for your explanation.

Guido
