How to remove several lines in the Vim editor using Regex
A quick tip for those who use Vim: if you need to remove several lines that match your regular expression, you can achive that by running
vim
:g /pattern/d
Let's say you want to remove the commented lines from the following file:
ruby
# This is a comment
def foo
end
# This is another comment
def bar
end
Run
:g /^#.*/d
and your code will become:ruby
def foo
end
def bar
end
Simple, hey? :)
