In Vim, how to swap 2 non adjacent patterns?
- by ThG
I have lines of text, all with the same structure, and would like to make a permutation of 2 elements on all lines:
1257654 some text (which may be long) #Foo
1543098 some other text #Barbar
1238769 whatever #Baz
2456874 something else #Quux
I want to obtain :
#Foo some text (which may be long) 1257654
#Barbar some other text 1543098
#Baz whatever 1238769
#Quux something else 2456874
This is where I am stuck :
:%s/\(\d\{7\}\)\(#.\{-}\)/\2\1/
Where did I go wrong ?
