Applying macros to all files, macro stops processing files

Hi All,

Yesterday, with the groups help, I was able to apply a macro to a group of Markdown files in my site directory, using:

:args ~/site/**/inde*.md

:argdo :normal @b

:argdo :write

(@b is a macro that searches for '---', moves up two lines, and inserts a new line, 'beta: true')

I THOUGHT this would work, but i found out it didn't make it through all the files. When I looked I found that one of the files was blank. Thinking that might have caused the macro to stop at that time, I removed the file, and changed all the other files back, and tried running it again. This time, it didn't get further, but the next file it should have processed, is legit, and i can run the macro on that individual file.

Are there limitations in trying to run a macro across a bunch of files like this? Has anyone else done this?

Thanks again!

Russ
