Let's use Vim macros to handle this task. To obtain the expected output, you need to edit the input by switching the position of some fields, deleting the quotation marks, and inserting Tab or comment characters ( #) appropriately. The original file is this: $ cat hosts.csv You want to convert it to the /etc/hosts format to enable local name resolution for the hosts. Suppose that you receive a CSV file containing a list of hosts in your network from a hypothetical monitoring system. In this article, we'll explore the concept of Vim macros by applying it to a practical example. Macros improve your workflow and are a great time saver. Macros make tedious and repeatable tasks manageable by executing the task only once, then using Vim's power to automate it. You then execute that macro many times to repeat the same job in an automated way.

In Vim, a macro is a feature that allows you to record a sequence of commands that you use to perform a given task.

Which is quite useful because it tells us that there are 2 example files installed in the share directorys for both gvim and vim, and that there are also some system-wide config files below /etc/. On my system this produces /usr/share/vim/vim82/vimrc_example.vim (The information for which you would obtain from :version as explained in other answers.)

If you modify this file your changes may be overwritten if you ever upgrade Vim. The system vimrc is not a good place you keep your personal settings. The system vimrc should normally be left unmodified and is located in the $VIM * directory. If you cannot find $HOME/.vimrc (or $HOME/_vimrc on Windows) then you can, and probably should, just create it. The user vimrc file often does not exist until created by the user. the system vimrc in $VIM (on Amiga systems, s.vimrc is considered a user vimrc).Note that exisitence of this file will disable the compatible option. Insert the settings you want, and save the file.
