Seeking help in vi editor.
I want to insert in the begin of line. I wanted it to be insserted for specific line ranges. for eg, line number 1 to line number 20.
Any idea
Try this:
:1,20s/^/#/
where 1 and 20 compose the line number range, and the # is the text to be inserted at the beginning of the line.
That's the simplest way to do it, but there's a whole thread on other things to try at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/253380/how-do-i-insert-text-at-beginning-of-a-multi-line-selection-in-vi-vim
