[PLUG] vi question

[sean finney <seanius@seanius.net>]

for the other vi users out there, i haven't been able to dig up
a way to do this...


say i have a line formatted something like this:

 -- sean finney <seanius@debian.org>  Wed, 19 Jan 2005 18:16:33 -0500

is there an easy way to replace everything from wednesday on with
the output of date -R?  that is, i'd like to do something like

s/Wed.*/`date -R`/

only, that doesn't work :(

the only way i can think of doing this is to write a small script/alias
that calls sed and date, but i'm hoping i've missed something...
