How can get the current cursor position in vi editor. CTRL-G give only the line number. I need to know the column position as well.
Here is a great site for vi editor. You should be able to find it here. This is a list of several vi links.

I think this will help. Here is the one for the example below. http://drumlin.thehutt.org/vi/ Give it a number and the | to take you to that column.
"n| column n of current line " that is a pipe "|"
I would also suggest loading VIM it has many more features than plain VI.
I put "vi column" into our search function. Look what popped up... VI question HELP!!
