I've got a file of words like this:
plot_20030524.ps
plot_20030525.ps
plot_20030526.ps
plot_20030527.ps
plot_20030528.ps
plot_20030529.ps
and I want to duplicate each line so it looks like this:
plot_20030524.ps plot_20030524.ps
plot_20030525.ps plot_20030525.ps
plot_20030526.ps plot_20030526.ps
plot_20030527.ps plot_20030527.ps
plot_20030528.ps plot_20030528.ps
plot_20030529.ps plot_20030529.ps
Now in the actual file, there's some 500+ lines that I want to do this to. I never really messed with macros in vi, but I found that I could first add a space to the end of every line, then make a macro to do this 'yw$p' which poof duplicates the word on the same line like I want.
But what I can't figure out is to do that same command globally in the entire file. Can anybody enlighten me please? :)
Thanks in advance,
-chris

Try the following:
:%s/.*/& &/
If you want to turn this into a command like a massed rename try:
:%s/.*/mv & &.old/
If you needed to change the type field from .ps to something else you
could try:
:%s/\(.*\)\(\.ps\)/mv \1\2 \1.oldps/
which will change the name to *.oldps
And while I'll get yelled at for talking about non-editor stuff, when
I'm doing repetitive operations on a bunch of files I do things like:
#!/usr/bin/sh
while read file
do
cp $file /mnt/some/archive/directory/
name=`basename $file .ps`
dir=`dirname $file`
mv $file $dir/$name.oldps
etc...
done <plot_20030524.ps
plot_20030525.ps
plot_20030526.ps
plot_20030527.ps
plot_20030528.ps
plot_20030529.ps
EOD
Of course if I have misinterpreted what you are trying to do, please
ignore me.
Have fun.

Bob you are the man! That command directly above was *exactly* what I was trying to do in the first place.... I just went the macro route because I couldn't figure anything out. Very sweet. I'll play around with the other stuff you said, and thanks to all the others who replied as well.
I didn't think I'd get replies that fast. Thanks to all!

You can record a quick macro, type in: qq^y$A pjq
Then undo the change, and enter the following: :%norm @q

If you are using Vim and if your examples are complete lines you can use
%s/\(^.*$\)/\1 \1/g
Notice the space: \1\1
BTW: works in Nvi as well, so probably it'll do you some good.

For Vim you can also simplify to:
%s/.*/& &/
I am also very often forgetting about \0 and & :)

There's no need for ^ and $ because * is greedy and .* matches anything
on a line. And /g doesn't make sense here: .* can't match again after it
has consumed the whole line.
