ibelooze@runet.edu (Ilya): > In vim [the command] dfA will delete to and including "A" character on a > line in the command mode. How do I do the same thing globally - to every > line in the file? The command deletes to the next 'A' - so it depends on the current position. As this is not defined I assume that position in column 0 is wanted. :%s/^.*A// Well, this will delete to the last 'A' in every line. This one should delete to the first 'A' of every line: :%s/^.*A[^A]*$// > Is there a simpler solution in emacs or with sed? sed -e "s/^.*A//" file > outfile Sven
