I am using vi editor for BaaN IV session scripts. Can anybody tell how a part of script can be copied from one & paste(insert) to other vi script.

Thanks

You can set mark points with the m command:

So on the first line type e.g. 'mk' (mark point k).

Then go to the last line and type

"oy'k (copy into buffer o from this point back to point k)

Goto the other file with

:e <filename>

and paste with

"op (put from buffer o)

Have fun!

What i'm doing is i type:

in script A:

:set number ***that will display line number

:22,34 w! file ***from line 22 to line 34 write in file

then in script B:

:set number ***display line number

:4 r file *** insert at line 4 what is in file


works for me.

use a dos based vi editor called "Lemmy" and you can do cut and paste operations by simply selecting the text.
