OK, I did so well with my last question, I'm back. [Thanks for all the correct answers I received] Besides, comp.editors came up empty. I guess all the experts are over here... I'm trying to build a vi macro that will backup by the ENDS of words. For example, in the previous sentence, it would go: . s f S e and so forth. My crude attempts break if there is a single-letter word or a punct. mark involved. Suggestions? -- A host is a host from coast to coast.....wb8foz@mthvax.cs.miami.edu & no one will talk to a host that's close............(305) 255-RTFM Unless the host (that isn't close)......................pob 570-335 is busy, hung or dead....................................33257-0335
