On Page 2, under "About Vim":

"Vim [1] is a computer software using which you can write."

That sentence doesn't make any sense to me.

What a nice book. I'm a long-time vim user, but never managed to get my head around vim scripting (apart from fixing some bugs in others' scripts). This is the best introduction to Vim scripting (writing plugins, syntax files, ...) I have seen so far. Thanks for putting it online!

[edit] Nerd plugin.

Hi Swaroop..

I thought directory views were integrated into vi7. You don't really need the nerd pluging. Just type :Vex or :Sex (split explore) to get a similar directory view.

Sridhar is correct...

Thanks Sridhar and Robert, I've updated for the same :)

[edit] Errata comment

Swaroop,

On p.14 in the first and second paragraphs discussing the substitution command, you state ":s%/from/to/g..." and then go on to say ":s" is the substitution command. But what is ":%s"?

Similarly in the next paragraph you talk about substituting from/to in only the first 10 lines and give the command as ":0,10s" Is this really the first 10 lines (0-9) or the first 11 lines (0-10). Probably some explanation is needed here if the command as given is correct.

Hi Kevin,

I've added some explanation on this. Please let me know if it is sufficient.

Thanks,
