END OF PRACTICE - - -NUMBERED BUFFERS ----------------- -In all of the previous pasting exercises you've used the "un-named" -buffer. The un-named buffer contains the text you most recently cut or -copied. When you make a new cut or copy, the old contents of the -un-named buffer are moved to one of the "numbered" buffers. The -buffers are numbered 1-9. Each time you cut or copy text, - - vi saves your current cut or copy in a buffer #1 - vi saves your 2nd to last cut or copy in a buffer #2 - The cut or copy before that is saved in a buffer #3 ... - vi saves your 8th oldest cut or copy in a buffer #8 - vi saves your 9th oldest cut or copy in a buffer #9 - -Note that buffer #1 is the same as the un-named buffer. Here's how to -paste from the numbered buffers: - - "#P (upper p) PUT contents of buffer # before the cursor - "#p (lower p) PUT contents of buffer # after the cursor - -For example: - - "1p PUT buffer 1 after the cursor - "7p PUT buffer 7 after the cursor - ->>> Delete this 1st line with dd ->>> Delete this 2nd line with dd ->>> Delete this 3rd block with d2d ->>> (2nd half of block 3) ->>> Delete this 4th block with dd ->>> Now type "1p "2p "3p "4p - -If you are using vi and have made accidental deletions, just PUT the -contents of each numbered buffer to recover the deleted text. - - -NAMED BUFFERS -------------- -vi maintains the un-named and numbered buffers automatically. You can -maintain your own buffers named a-z. That is, you can cut or copy text -into buffer x and later paste the text from buffer x. - - '"'aDELETE DELETE text into buffer a - "aYANK YANK text into buffer a - "aPUT PUT text from buffer a - -Note, don't actually type 'DELETE', 'YANK', or 'PUT'; type one of the -DELETE commands, YANK commands, or PUT commands.

(In vi you also -exit with 'Z''Z'.) With :w you can save and not quit vi. It is a safe -practice to save changes to a file regularly. This reduces re-typing -in the event your computer crashes. - - :w<RETURN> WRITE contents of the file (without quitting) - (type a colon, type w , then press the RETURN key) - ->>> Try :w now.
