I tried to edit a zip file and change its content using the following commands
:set modifiable
:%s/xxA/..\//g
:x!
But it returned the following error
W10: Warning: Changing a readonly file
55 substitutions on 10 lines
Press ENTER or type command to continue
After I pressed Enter nothing changed. Please guide me to solve this problem.
Vim ships with the zip plugin (:help pi_zip) that lets you automatically browse and edit the contents of the zip file. These browse buffers are read-only. In order to read the actual zip file, you need to use binary mode: $ vim -b archive.zip.
If you did use binary mode, the readonly buffer originates from the zip file's file system permissions. Sometimes you can force a write with :w!, else you have to first give your user write access ($ chmod +w archive.zip).
