From article <1993Jan21.061448.25739@cdf.toronto.edu>, by g2chanhk@cdf.toronto.edu (Simon Ho Ki CHAN): > Hi, is there anybody who knows how to put the EOF marker at the end of > the last line, instead of putting it in a new line? e.g I wanna create a file > like the following > > blah, blah > blah, blah<EOF> > > instead of > > blah, blah > blah, blah > <EOF> > > Thanks for advance. It is not possible - vi is fundamentaly a line editor - its core is the ex part which is a line editor which is roughly based on ed which is a line editor. There is no EOF marker by the way (Well not in unix anyway). This is also the main reason why you cannot delete the newline with 'x' or 'X' as you can in character stream oriented editors such as emacs. Nick Hounsome
