repeat paste command in vi
I have a line in a text-file that I want repeated 15 times.
So i used:
yy
15p
Didn't work only a single line was pasted.
yy
p
14.
Also didn't work, just repeats one time.
Is there anyway to do this, other than 15 times pressing p.
PS: both of the above commands work in winvi, please don't let windows beat us.

Re: repeat paste command in vi
To repeat line "n" times, either yy yank and then use p "n" number of times, or mark the line as `a' and :1,ng/^/'aco'a will duplicate "n" copies of that line; e.g., :1,34g/^/'aco'a will add 34 more copies of line marked `a' ; "n" must be no greater than the number of lines in the file.
