I have a large text file where 2 lines (fields) form a record. Now I want to merge the 2 lines into one line seperated by a comma.
Line1 Line2
The fields should be seperated by a comma.
Line1,Line2
How can I define a keystroke that will, add a comma at the end of Line1 perform a JOIN of Line1 and Line2 move the cursor to the next record?
the following colon command would map the <F3> function key to do this.
:map <F3> A,<ESC>Jj
Goto any line and press F3.
It would insert a comma at the end of the line, join this line with the next one, and move to the next line (this would be the same as moving to the next record, then).
Hope this helps.
