Learning the vi Editor, Sixth Edition
By Linda Lamb and Arnold Robbins


Following are the changes made in the 6/01 reprint.


Here's the key to the markup:

        [page-number]: serious technical mistake
        {page-number}: minor technical mistake
        <page-number>: important language/formatting problem
        (page-number): language change or minor formatting problem
        ?page-number?: reader question or request for clarification


[32]  2nd paragraph;
The 'space' has been changed to 'spacebar.'  


(89) The last line of example 11:

"To delete lines that contain whitespace but that aren't empty, ..."

has been changed to:

"To delete lines that contain only whitespace but not lines that are empty,..."


{89}  In item 13, the example and first paragraph have been changed to:

:%s/&bsol;(.*[^&vis-space;][^&vis-space;]*&bsol;)&vis-space;&vis-space;*$/&bsol;1/

For each line, use &bsol;(.*[^&vis-space;][^&vis-space;]*&bsol;) to save
everything up to the final trailing spaces. This regular expression must
explicitly match at least one non-space ([^&vis-space;]) so that the 
.* doesn't match everything on the line. Restore the saved text without 
the spaces.


(127) 9 lines up, "or separately as MKS Vi" has been deleted.
(They apparently don't sell it separately any more.)
