Vim : How to add a new line

Question

I want to add a line break in vim from line 59 to the end of file.

- 0021: Paralleism
- 0022: Mazimum Sum Sequence
- 0023: Circles Intersection
- 0024: Physical Experiments

to this

- 0021: Paralleism

- 0022: Mazimum Sum Sequence

- 0023: Circles Intersection

- 0024: Physical Experiments

I tried the following but it doesn't work.

:59,Gs/$/$\n/

How can I achieve this with vim substitute?

I reopened this question because it isn't an exact duplicate of the other. This question also deals with ranges, not just replacing newlines. — Randy Morris, May 12 '14 at 23:29

You should be able to accomplish it with this:

:59,$s/$/\r/

Another way to do this would be:

:59,$g/./norm o

Alternatively if you wanted to do this to all lines beginning with a - you could do:

:g/- /norm o

Time for global:

:59,$g/^/pu_

For more see:
