Fedora: vi/vim gzipped file February 19th, 2016
When I edit myfile.log.gz with vi, I want to see the uncompressed file.
There are lots of useful posts on the Internet for how to make this work in Ubuntu. But for Fedora I could not find a solution.
There is a workaround according to http://labs.sasslantis.ee/2011/05/open-gzipped-file-with-vi/:
zcat myfile.log.gz | vi - |
But that is hard to remember…
This is the easiest solution:
sudo dnf install vim-enhanced vim myfile.log.gz |
