vi puzzles

[Brad De Vries]

One more possible solution is to use the vi command
"|" (pipe symbol).  It positions the cursor to the
specified column.

For example, while in command-mode, type "30|"
(without the quotes) and the cursor will immediately
move to column 30 (or the last column if less than
30).

>From there, you can do the normal vi commands to
manipulate the data as desired.

Good luck,
Brad.
