Efficiently Remove the Last Character from Every Line in Vim
To delete the last character from each line in a file using Vim, you could use the command
<:%s/.\{1}$// />Thiss command matches the last character on each line and removes it. Here are two simple examples:
Example(1 )
Suppose you have a file with the following lines:
Hello!
World!
Vim!
After executing :%s/.\{1}$//, the file will be:
Hello
World
Vim
Example(2)
For a file containing:
Test1
Test2
Test3
After running the same command :%s/.\{2}$//, the file will become:
Tes
Tes
Tes
This command efficiently removes the last two character from each line in the file.
