I use cygwin on my windows system to use unix commands from vim commandline.
This is written in my text file: Adam|12345 Bob|34567 Joe|56789 Sam|45678 Wendy|23456 When I use: :%!sort -k2n -t'|' it gives an error: ''' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Same problem when I use '>' and '<' as separator. Escaping doesn't resolve my problem. I don't have problems with other separators as ';', ')', '\\', '=' and many others. btw.... Is it possible to use regex in the sort command. No info is written in the manual and it doesn't work in my vim. :%!sort -k3 -t'[,;]' (sort after the 3rd time a ',' or ';' is found) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
