Subject: AW: Find a value , and insert it at the begining of line
A little shorter would probably be :%s/\(.*\)\(18\d\d\)\(.*\)/\2&/ (But
since you haven't provided input samples and corresponding expected
output I'm not sure and you will have to confirm it.) Janis

Betreff: Find a value , and insert it at the begining of line Hi this
works. Is there a niftier way? (ie without capturing the context).
:%s/\(.*\)\(18\d\d\)\(.*\)/\2\1\2\3/ It seems that the nested capture
which wd have been a tad shorter, doesn't work. regards - Chris -- --
