Most new users can get through it in less than one hour. The result is that you

can use simple regular expressions using the Vim editor.

=== `:VimRegexTutor`

The `:VimRegextutor` command will open a new tab containing an editable copy of

the tutorial. Have at it!

=== Old School

`regextutor` is a file that contains the tutorial lessons. You can simply

execute `vim regextutor` and then follow the instructions in the lessons.  The

lessons tell you to modify the file, so *DON'T DO THIS ON YOUR ORIGINAL COPY*.

On Unix you can also use the `vimregextutor` program.  It will make a scratch

copy of the tutor first. Currently, this program needs to be manually installed

into a directory in your PATH. Assuming you used pathogen to install

VimRegexTutor, you could do something like:

    cd

    mkdir -p bin

    ln -s $HOME/.vim/bundle/VimRegexTutor/bin/vimregextutor $HOME/bin/vimregextutor

**NOTE:** This is a once-off setup and won't need to be repeated after

upgrading VimRegexTutor.
