# Reverse A Group Of Lines
|
|
|
|
The following command can be used to reverse the order of all lines in a
|
|
file by doing a global move on all lines that match the beginning of line
|
|
character starting at the theoretical 0th character:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:g/^/m 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reversing a range of lines is a little more work. Just as the previous
|
|
example needs to be anchored against the 0th character, a specific range of
|
|
lines needs to be anchored at the line just before the range. Thus reversing
|
|
the lines 5 to 10 requires being anchored at line 4, like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
:4,10g/^/m 4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `:h 12.4` for more details on how this works.
