Updating List of Warcraft characters
Thanks for updating the List of Warcraft characters page. It must be a pain to do it by hand. --Fandyllic 5 PM PDT 18 May 2006

No problem. ^C, ^V, /:1,$s//\*\ / ... done. VIM rocks.


 * Yeah, good job. What is VIM? This sounds like something I might be interested in. And why wouldn't you use # instead of * and a number at the head of each line? Makes less numbering work. And it sounds like VIM might let you change everything to # easily – if you so desire. Schmidt 18:41, 18 May 2006 (EDT)

VIM is VI iMproved ... but I'm not sure I'd recommend it unless you grew up with vi as I did. Imho, powerful, but relatively unintuitive and obtuse. Since the original list I cribbed from the original Wikipedia page was already numbered, I just did a quick and dirty insert of * at the beginning of each line -- this also served to maintain the format of the previous list.
