Experiment: 1.

Aim: Familiarization with the VI editor.

Tools/Software Required: Personal computer, Oracle virtual machine, Ubuntu ISO File.

Description: The objective of this experiment is to know how to create and edit files in VI
editor. In this experiment we will create a file and run various commands on this file using VI
editor.

Pseudo code/Algorithms/Flowchart/Steps:
Starting Vi Editor:- This editor can be invoked by typing vi filename at the prompt. If
you specify a filename as an argument to vi, then the vi will edit the specified file, if it
exists.
Vi<filename>

A status line at the bottom of the screen shows the filename, current line & character
position in the edited file.
Vi<line no><filename>

VI Modes: - The editor works on 3 modes as follows: -

 (2) All the commands an vi Editor should be used in this mode.
(3) We can enter into this mode from insert mode by pressing. [Esc] key and from Ex
mode by pressing Enter.

c) Ex Mode: -
