Hyep, that's me.

Found out yesterday that I can delete forward to the next instance of a pattern in vi by using d/pattern. This method does not delete the next pattern instance.

Also found out how to set a mark and delete to it, including the line it is on. many_letter sets marker specified_letter. d'specified_letter does the actual deletion. This uses a single quote. Using a back-tick does someting else. Must figure that out.

I'm still having problems using regexes in the / searches. Maybe it's time to learn some emacs, if I can't do this in vi.

Time to experiment and see if I can use the operand / with other operators, like say y, to copy all text until next pattern instance.

This is cool.
