Dude, this has literally saved me tons of time! To give perspective, I'm working with a 300k+ lines data file that needs trimming. Sed didn't work because encoding, and now I found this explanation. Thank you so much!

Great demonstration.. liked it..

[@letsgoooo361]

this was very useful I was struggling to make it work multiline, I see your strategy is start recording it and include the move to next line in the recording. thanks mate

Nice tutorial man. I think we can also use something like 10@@ to apply the changes 10 times or any number we want.

[@joshrosso]

you can! It’s funny how often I *tap* *tap* *tap* a key or shortcut in vim forgetting about prefixing a number 🙂.

how to record a macro with find a word and find another. If i find a word and then find another and stop macro. Then it ignore the first find match. Please check that.
