What’s the best way in VIM using search and replace to add the number 1 after every FIRST comma on a line? Each line has multiple commas (this is a csv), I want to insert the value 1 though after the first comma on each line.

I believe just
:s/,/,1/should do it. If you don’t use thegoption, it will only replace the first instance found per line.Do
:%s/,/,1/if you want it to apply to the entire file, the first option only does it for a single line.
