Let's say you copy and pasted a bunch of output from CVS like this:
/opt/data/cvs/ofc/ofc/R1/wlthmgmt/common/feeds/state/logship.state.conf,v <-- logship.state.conf new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3 done Checking in statemch/logship.statemch.conf; /opt/data/cvs/ofc/ofc/R1/wlthmgmt/common/feeds/statemch/logship.statemch.conf,v <-- logship.statemch.conf new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3 done Checking in swift/logship.swift.conf; /opt/data/cvs/ofc/ofc/R1/wlthmgmt/common/feeds/swift/logship.swift.conf,v <-- logship.swift.conf new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2 done Checking in tmark/logship.tmark.conf; /opt/data/cvs/ofc/ofc/R1/wlthmgmt/common/feeds/tmark/logship.tmark.conf,v <-- logship.tmark.conf new revision: 1.4; previous revision: 1.3
and you want to submit the filename and revision as a promotion request.
You can do a bunch of ":s/foo//" commands to get rid some of the junk there, and a ":g/^Check/d" and ":g/^done" to get rid of the extraneous line and you'd be left with maybe something like this:
wlthmgmt/common/feeds/bank53/logship.53.conf -- 1.4 -- install wlthmgmt/common/feeds/bankamer/logship.bankamer.conf -- 1.2 -- install wlthmgmt/common/feeds/bankamer/logship.pos.conf -- 1.4 -- install wlthmgmt/common/feeds/bankamer/logship.txn.conf -- 1.5 -- install wlthmgmt/common/feeds/bny/logship.bny.conf -- 1.3 -- install
What would you do to "join" the lines with filenames with lines with versions and commands? What *would* you do!?
g/conf/j
It could be anything on the line with the filename on it, but you want to say globally search for "whatever" (conf) in this case, and do the ex/ed command "j" on it which joins it with the next line.
