I am sure this is easy, I am just missing a character or two.
I need to search for a particular term in a file, and when I find it, I need to append something to that line. And I want to do that for EVERY line with the match.
To do it once, I can do this:
/Thing to find/s/$/ Stuff to append/
Easy. And if my "thing to find" were at the END of the line I could do this:
%s/\(Thing to find\)$/\1 Stuff to append/
To do the same thing on every matching line
But how do I do the first thing on every line?
I guess I could do
%s/\(Thing to find.*\)$/\1 Stuff to append/
But that feels clumsy and would make it more complicated if the thing to find were on a line more than once.
I am thinking there must be a way to just do my first search everywhere, but I am having trouble writing a concise enough description to google it.
So mighty Stackers, anyone want to nerd slap me with a two byte solution?
