1/11/2010 VI, SSH, and Paste

I have been playing with PHP and didn't really fill like installing a web server and PHP on my fresh installed desktop just to do some testing with PHP. So I just did everything on my personal server, but again, I did not want to install a FTP server just to upload a few simple files, so I was just pasting things into my VI editor through Putty. Well soon after putting up some PHP, I started noticing, if there were any comments in my PHP that when I pasted the code in, it would end up commenting out everything below it. Not good.

So as a temporary solution, I just removed the comments, which was OK for a little bit, but I knew there had to be a better way. After playing with VI editor more, I noticed it does some auto formating when you start doing comments in PHP (which is done two forward slashes '//') that when you hit return, VI automatically starts a comment on the next line.

So I did some Googling and found an article of copying and pasting within the VI editor and some of the issues which mentioned a method to help prevent the auto formating. So I tried it and ta-freakin-da it pasted exactly how I had it in Aptana. To prevent auto-formating, while in command mode, type this without the quotes ":set paste" and when you go into insert mode, you will now see "-- INSERT (paste) --" instead of the normal insert prompt. To go back to normal insert, ":set nopaste".

I doubt this will help most of the readers of this site, but hopefully someone out there will find it useful.

I\'ve just recently gotten a grasp of basic HTML.

I\'m always a step (or two) behind the rest of the crowd for whatever reason. But I\'ll pretend to understand what this PHP language is all about. o_O
