Suppose I have the following text:

El problema de la Programaci&#243;n Lineal
El Espacio Eucl&#237;deo

How can I replace the &#...; with their corresponding characters?

I know that &#243; is ó
            &#225; is á
            &#237; is í

The text can be very large with several of the &#...;

Hi Cesar,

I am not sure if that is exactly what you are asking for but if your need is to do a "search and replace", you could type this to change &#237; into í :

:%s/&#237;/í/g

Then, similarly:

:%s/&#225;/á/g

:%s/&#243;ó/g

If you need to do this often you may want to record a macro or write a function or look for a plugin that does it.

This stackoverflow page can be of interest : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3054971/does-anyone-know-of-a-vim-plugin-or-script-to-convert-special-characters-to-thei

I installed Tim Pope's unimpaired plugin to try out Drew Neil's suggestion and it works.

With that plugin installed, in normal mode, gg]xG would do the trick.

hope that helps,

nico

 

Many thanks in advance,
