How to load another file's content to the current file in Vim?
Solution 1:
at the VIM command prompt:
:read new_file
or for short:
:r new_file
This will insert the contents of new_file
under where the cursor is. For instance if this is the contents of new_file
:
I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like you sam I am
And this is the text you're editing:
I meant what I said and I said what I meant An elephant's faithful one hundred percent.
And your cursor is on the first line and you type:
:read new_file
Then your buffer will be:
I meant what I said and I said what I meant I do not like green eggs and ham I do not like you sam I am An elephant's faithful one hundred percent.
