I don't think it's readily doable inside vim, but if I had such a situation, I'd split it into the two portions like $ sed -n -e '1,50w head.txt' -e '51,$w tail.txt' bigfile.txt I could then edit head.txt easily and write it back out. I can then recombine the pieces when done: $ cat head.txt tail.txt > edited_bigfile.txt -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
