Query regarding vi editor
 

Hi All,
Can somebody help me on the following in Linux' 'vi' editor..

1. How to display the position of the cursor(column number) in a row?
2. How to move the cursor to 'n'th column in a row?

Thanks in advance,
Basling.

Sounds like a homework exercise to me: have you read the help file?

eg.
for Q1. Telling where you are
for Q2. 23j 5h puts you on the 5th column of row 23.

Thanks Simon,
Your reply really helped me

Thanks,
Basling
