Hi there,
Imagine we have a text file with the following content:
"1st Jan","First day"
"2nd Jan",""Second day"
"3rd Jan","Third day"
"4th Jan","Fouth day"
and we want to remove the date suffixes "st, nd, rd and th" to get:
"1 Jan","First day"
"2 Jan",""Second day"
"3 Jan","Third day"
"4 Jan","Fouth day"
In vim is it possible to do a substitution along the lines of:
:%s/[0-9][a-z][a-z]/[0-9]/g
this will replace the number with [0-9]. Is it possible to get vim to
leave the number as it is?
Many thanks
Andrew |

Use:
:%s/\(\"[0-9]*\)[A-Za-z]* \(.*\)/\1 \2/ |
