I used the following command to find google in 1.txt and paste it once, but it didn't work. I guess it's because p in vim is not a command using after :. But how can I fix this problem?

vim "+g/google/y a" -c "p" -c "wq" 1.txt

  • Why on earth are you using vim for this, and not i.e. sed or grep? Commented Feb 15, 2022 at 8:48

Ex-command for pasting is :put:

-c put

(no need to quote, there is nothing to protect from shell.)

You can also use :normal:

-c "normal p"

(quotes are used to protect the space.)
