quickly manipulate and add duplicates of a word in Vim line by line
I have a really simple task but I can't find a way to do it; I have a text file that is composed like so
$CC
$CXX
where each line is the name of an environment variable and I would like to morph the previous into
echo "CC"$CC
echo "CXX"$CXX
and of course adding text in before and after each word on each line it's easy, especially in visual mode, but I can't really find a way to say to vim "copy the word after the dollar sign and paste it at some point in the sequence that I input in visual mode"
Someone got some ideas ?
