How to use register with CTRL-A or CTRL-X in vim
- by Luc M
Suppose that I have a number into register r.
How could I use this value with CTRLA and CTRLX
Here's an example to make it clearer:
Suppose that I have this text file:
10
13
15
I want to to increase those numbers with the value in register r to obtain (if it contains 5)
15
18
20
Why I'm asking it ? Because I want to use CTRLA into a macro but the number of time that I need to apply CTRLA is only know at "run time".
In a more general way, how could I execute a command a number of times stored in a register ?
All of these questions and answers where interesting but they don't answer my question:
