[SOLVED] Vim change until character

MTK358 · 06-18-2011, 09:45 AM

In Vim, I can change the text up until the next instance of "X" using this command:

Code:

cfX

The problem is that it includes "X". What if I want to change until, but not including, "X"?

I think you can use

Code:

ctX

It works for me in ViM 7.3.177

Thanks, that works. It's probably a newer Vim-specific feature, since I never saw it in any of the vi or Vim tutorials I saw.

Actually, I just tried in in vi (Arch Linux comes with the original vi), and "t" works there, too!
