CentOS - Jan 2009 - How to select a block in gnome-terminal or in vim

Hi,
When I connect to a Cisco router and issue the show ip interface command,
the output is similar as follows:

Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status
Protocol
Ethernet0/0               192.168.12.1      YES NVRAM  up
up
Serial0/0                  unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down
down
Ethernet0/1               unassigned      YES NVRAM  administratively down
down
Loopback0               1.1.1.1            YES NVRAM  up
up

Will anyone please tell me how to select text in block instead of line,  so
that I can get the IP address on all interface, in gnome-terminal as well as
in vim.
Many thanks!

Xiaobo

You should be able to do this in visual mode in VIM.  Paste your output
above into vim and then hit CTRL-C CTRL-V and select away.

Hold down Ctrl to select a block in gnome-terminal.

Try "set mouse=a" in your vimrc first
