Excellent Text on Vi
This is the best Vi editor book. Having said that, I can no longer remcommend using vi, instead if you can switch to vim. Vim is the next generation of vi...There are loads of plugins etc. There is a Vim text, (not as good as this one but it has to cover more stuff) But if you can't get vim, and dread learning emacs. This is the vi book for you. It covers regular expressions as understood by vi, it has all the basic set commands, the buffer control etc. It was originally written for internal classes at HP, but since there wasn't any other good vi books they have allowed general publication. Thanks HP!

An essential book for beginners and seasoned vi users.
One of the few books on Vi that actually has good, simple, usable examples. It covers many of the lesser-known features, as well as the more popular and necessary commands. The book takes you quickly through the steps necessary to achieve the results you want. Definitely a must-have book for anyone, whether you are a beginner, or seasoned, experienced vi user.
