In this screencast we look at using Vim to let you do some pretty serious work with file handling. There are a number of "file renamers" and the like out there that give you big complex GUIs and such, but they're all pretty silly once you realize how you can do this with Vim.

Rather than recording a macro to get rid of those unwanted ".mp3" strings it would have been easier to just do: :%s/.mp3//

ie. replace the first instance of ".mp3" on each line (but not the second one!) with nothing.

Yup. That would do it.

As well, you could also run the file through the shell with :%!sh (i.e. no highlighting required)

p.s. You're the best drummer ever :)

how did u make the cursor to change its appearance in insert mode? in normal mode it (cursor) looks like a rectangle, while in insert mode it looks like a bold vertical line.
sorry for my english)

This is done with the 'guicursor' option. (:h 'guicursor'). It's quite a complex option so I'll just paste in what I've got here and you can figure out the details on your own if you wish. If you don't care, just paste it into your vimrc and source it. :)

set guicursor=n-v-c:block-Cursor-blinkon0,ve:ver35-Cursor,o:hor50-Cursor,i-ci:ver25-Cursor,r-cr:hor20-Cursor,sm:block-Cursor-blinkwait175-blinkoff150-blinkon175

That's all on one line, of course, no spaces.
