I need to put a comma between any two digits in a string of digits. For example, I want this 12345678910 to become this 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,1,0 The approach I took was the following s/\([0-9]\)\([0-9]\)/\1,\2/g Strangely enough, the substitution command above when applied to the string in the example gives 1,23,45,67,89,10 If I apply the substitution command once again, it gives what I want. But **why just one instance of the command don't work?** The ```vim``` version I'm using is VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Mar 18 2020 18:29:15)
