vi Question - delete to end of line 1

[tbohon]

I can delete to the end of a file but am wondering how to delete to the end of the current line? Have a LOT of lines to process and I don't want to wear out the 'x' key on my keyboard!

Tnx in advance.

[Mike042]

Position cursor at point to delete to end of line
press: d$

(for info: d0 will delete to the beginning of the line)


I hope that helps.

Or simply D

Anyway, man vi

Oooops, sorry.

I read "end-of-file" instead of "end-of-line".

Thanks, all - I figured it was simple.

And, for the record, I did a 'man vi' before asking this question ...
