Re: Writting a vi macro, help please.

["A.Sajjad Zaidi" <sajjad@example.com>]

You can record macros by pressing q[a-z] in command mode and another q to
stop recording. '@[a-z]' will play it.

e.g.
'qa' will record a macro and name it 'a'. You can play it back with '@example.com'
('100@example.com' will play it a hundred times).

Have fun.
