Ah. Don't know how to do that with regex's but you can get it done with record/playback with Vim and Elvis. You probably already know this. qa - start recording to register a /^$ - go to first blank line <cursor down> <i>nsert and type <P> <esc> q - stop recording [EMAIL PROTECTED] - repeats the recorded keystrokes a bunch of times If you have multiple adjacent blank lines you'll need to squash them to one, :g/^$/,/./-j Gotta be an easier way though. Maybe one of the vi pros will drop in. Rick --
