By going to it?

It is not working.
I gave <esc> :next but it is showing the message
E163: There is only one file to edit

Sorry, I didn't realise that you had split windows in vim

Just use Ctrl-w, and the normal vim commands for moving (hjkl)
between multiple windows.

Cheers,
Tink

To move from one window to the next one under vim:

Code:

<CTRL-W><CTRL-W>

Thanks to both of you. It is working now.
I have one more doubt. I want to know my ip address (without using ifconfig)
Is there any way. I have seen long back someone using like machine -i ( not sure)
If there is any way then please tell me

It is better to open new thread for new question.

BTW you can use ip command.

Code:

# ip addr

Yes I got it
It is hostname -i

Thanks
