        Here is an absolutely incredible article on Vim: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

        Read the section below the question (the reply to the question).

          I might as well put in a plug for Emacs. 🙂

          If you’re already an intermediate to advanced VI user, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend switching, but if you’re a beginning VI user, you should take a look at Emacs as well.

          Here’s a summary of some of the powerful features of Emacs:

            Do you ever receive a file of HL7 with messages split into segments (one segment per line)?

            Here’s a quick way to convert that to HL7 one message per line using Vim.

            Place this line in your ~/.vimrc file.

            Code:

            ” Convert HL7 files from one segment per line to one message per line
            nnoremap :%s/n//g%s/rMSH/rMSH/g
            ” Split HL7 into one segment per line
            nnoremap :%s//r/g

            Then, open your HL7 file in Vim, and hit F3.

            Example

            Code:
