I am looking to make some code easier to read by taking something like this:

0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44 ....

and adding new lines to create increments of 8:

0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44 ....

Anyone know any vim magic that will allow me to do this with specifically selected lines?

    This is not the prettiest solution and I am sure that it can be cleaned up / simplified some. First select the text and then enter this command:

    :'<,'>s/\(\S\+,\s*\)\{8}/&\r/g

    This outputs something like this:

    0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44,
0x44, 0x44, 0x44, 0x44, ...
