:g/^\s*[a-z]/-j that translates as g on every line that matches / the following pattern ^ "start of line" \s* "optional whitespace" [a-z] "a lowercase letter" / perform the following command - on the previous line j join it with the following line > or find <end of line> followed by [a-z] and replace it with <space> > and that letter. And in a similar variant: :g/[a-z]\s*$/j g on every line that matches / the following pattern [a-z] "a lowercase letter" \s* "optional whitespace" $ the end-of-line / perform the following command j join it with the following line > So because I am not very used to Vim first I tried to find end line > and letter.

If there's extra whitespace, you may have to change your pattern to \n\s*[a-z] Hope this gives you some ideas, -tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
