Hi,
i have found somewhere that this below should remove the first column
of a document.
%s/^[^\t]*\zs\t[^\t]*\ze//g
But when i just try to write "%" it doesn't show anything in the
command line.
Any idea?
You need to start by typing : to get onto the commandline. So it will
actually look like
:%s/^[^\t]*\zs\t[^\t]*\ze//g
It seems to me that pattern will delete the second column, though.
The % just means 'whole file'. You're using the :substitute command (abbreviated
to :s) on the whole document (:help :range).
