unix/vi user group,
Can we display the cursor position in terms of column position in
vi editor. the "n"| command can bring you to the specific position,
but I want to see it when typing. Any help will be appreciated.

: Really?
: I think what you intended to say was
: :set ruler
Ack - this was supposed to be a response to someone asking how to
see the line numbers in vi. I responded to the wrong article.

: So can we get column numbers? My vi has no "ruler" option and I can't find
: "column" on the man page. I didn't think vi could do this.

Try :set all to see a list of all options. If you see number, nonumber,
use :set number

<snip original posting re: seeing cursor column position in vi>
Hmm, I'm running SVR4 on Sun Solaris and when I try "set ruler"Quote:>: I think what you intended to say was
>: :set ruler
ruler: No such option - 'set all' gives all option values
Am I missing something?
Curious,

What sold me on vim was the split screen function to allow multiple
views into the edit buffer or the ability to edit different files in the
views, however, it's got unlimited undo support for arrow keys in insert
and replace mode, a "history" mechanism of previous search and ex
commands, an on-line help, etc...
In preparing a seminar on vim for our IS group, I discovered the GUI
option which allows you to launch vim as an X client with scroll bars
and support for mouse based cut and paste operations. I also discovered
the "digraph" facility for entering accented characters and much more.
From ftp.FU-Berlin.DE in the directory /unix/editors/vim
The build was trivial on Solaris 2.5, however, there are a couple of
"interesting" features disabled by default. "Rightleft" support, for
example for displaying the start of lines at the right margin (e.g for
entering Hebrew or Arabic.)
Mind you, it's not emacs, so there's no support for generating calendars
and it might be nice if there were an interface to ispell...

1. how to determine column number in vi etc.
Is there a command or utility to show a column number while viewing a file?
I have seen mainframers use a tool that displays something like this
|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|234|6789|23 at the top of the screen. You can scroll through the file and this stays 5. column number of cursor in vi? 6. how is the packet been "seen" by (web) servers? 8. DHCP/DNS/Behind FW => slow internet 9. Displaying Line Numbers in Vi 10. Column in VI / Landscape in lp ? 13. To remove columns of text in vi?
|6789
at the top of the display. Yes, I am working with positional data.
TIA
