title: argdo in Vim

Load files with
```
:args *.txt
```

Then do things via
```
:bufdo 1d
:bufdo 1
```
to delete line 1 from each file and then write. Note `argdo` will open each file in the arg list,
and do the command. Whereas `bufdo` will do the command on each open buffer, and `tabdo` will
do the command on each open tab.

Note that this particular task is better done with `sed` via
```
sed -i -e '1d' *.txt
```
