Spell Check using Vi macro

paragkalra · 06-21-2008, 02:41 AM

Hi Friends,

I have placed following entry in the file "/root/.exrc"

Quote:

map V :w^M:!ispell % ^M:e!^M^M

Then I am opening a file using "vi" editor and on pressing "shift" key + "V" key, I am getting following string at the bottom:

Quote:

:w^M:!ispell % ^M:e!^M^M

What to do next? How could I use this spell check macro? Please guide.

Hi,

Are those ^M's correct? Did you use a literal ^ followed by a M?

Try replacing them with <CR>.

Hope this helps.
