Re: Call user created command, select all lines and copy them to global buffer

So, I'm trying to define such command, here is it:

command! -range=% QuoteLinesAndCopy :<line1>,<line2>/^\s*$/d;s/^/ > /
g;<line1>,<line2>y +

...but when I issue it I get the following error:

E488: Trailing characters: :1,30/^\s*$/d;s/^/ > /g;1,30y +

I'm afraid that I can't issue more than one ex command in a row...
Maybe I should create a function that can do all these in one run?..
