In theory, this should do it

  :set hidden
  :argdo 1/---/-2put='beta: true'

(this assumes that the first "---" doesn't fall on the first line;
otherwise make sure you have 'wrapscan' set too and use '$/---/'
instead)

Depending on whether you insert the text above or below the line 2
above the "---", you might need to change that to "-3" instead of
"-2".


IN the case of these files, the FIRST line IS a line of '---'. I was looking for the next line of '---'. Interestingly this:

 :argdo 1/---/-2put='beta: true'

seems to find the second one, and do exactly what I want. i'll try this!

Thanks again!!
