in vi, how to search and append something?

Question

I have a bash file

#!/bin/bash
curl '/entry/point.json?name=ab'
echo 1
sleep 60
curl '/entry/point.json?name=bc'
echo 2
sleep 60

and so on. I'd like to append

|jsonpp

after each curl command. How am I supposed to do that in VI? Such as

:%s/curl/?????/g

Answer 1

1. :global

:g/curl/norm A|jsonpp

would be my favourite

2. 'interactive' repeats:

• 'Highlight' curl (using * or #)
• A|jsonppEsc
• repeat at leisure: n. n. n. ...

---

3. bash functions

Alternatively,

#!/bin/bash
function curl()
{
    /usr/bin/curl "$@" | jsonpp
}

curl '/entry/point.json?name=ab'
echo 1
sleep 60
curl '/entry/point.json?name=bc'
echo 2
sleep 60

Answer 2

:%s/^\(curl .*\)$/\1 | jsonpp/g
