I went to :he y and I see:
:[range]y[ank] [x] Yank [range] lines [into register x].
so I do:
:'y,'zy"c
It did not give me an error, but when I type:
"cP
I don't get what I yanked.
What I am doing wrong?
What register is my yanked text in?
i think it'll be in the un-named register (")
Yes typing P dumped my text into the file.
i think what you wanted to do was
:'y,'zyc
This produced the E492 error
So how does range yank into a named register work?
Answering my own question.
This is the correct way:
:'y,'zy c
There has to be a space between yank and the register.
Yes, so Vim knows where the ex-command name ends (otherwise it'll think
that you want some :yc command,and complain that there is none.
In your initial command (with y"c), Vim sees the double-quote and
anything following it as a comment, and therefore uses the "unnamed"
register, ats it always does when a register is expected and you don't
name one.
Best regards,
Tony.
