you're almost there, it would actually be a
ctrl v and then a tab where you've got your \t
so:
%s/###hit ctrl v here, then a tab, which should echo a \I to this space###/|/g
and you're good to go

I have a large file which has tab delimited information per line.
Can some blast out a quick vi command to substitute a pipe | for the tab \t ?
This does not work.... :%s/\t/|/g
I am trying to make this simple for others in my group. I would prefer not to use perl or awk, etc. I know they can do it but I am considering those who will follow me here...
thanks,
John
