Hi All I am trying to do the following Search for all lines starting with INSERT command and append ; at End of Line

I am aware about search and replace using :%s/^INSERT/$;/g but this replaces INSERT and not append ; at end of the line. Kindly help Regards

Try, :%s/^INSERT(.*)$/\0 /g

ie. Capture everything after the INSERT and replace it by itself (\0) and the text you want you append.
