emacs had some problems opening a file when when it was checked into cvs. Then it had permissions problems when I moved the ,v file out of the way. The problem was that the disk was mounted on NFS and sudo doesn’t quite work over NFS. <\/p>\n
Instead I decided to be a real man and use vi. First thing I had to do was insert the contents of a another file into the current one. No problem: :r (filename)<\/p>\n
Then I had to substitute all $’s with \\$’s. Hmm, that was a little tougher. :s subsitiutes only the first instance on one line. Adding \/g does all on the line. To do them all, I had to use this magic incantation:<\/p>\n
:1,$s\/\\\/\\$\/g<\/p>\n
The first part specifies the range to use.<\/p>\n
