Why my simple script vim don't work for tab character?
This is my simple script of vim
#!/usr/bin/vim
%norm f^ID
%norm $i,
%!awk '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i++ ) printf $i " " }'
The first line delete all after the tab(^I)
the second add a "," after every line
the third convert line to column.
If I used the three separate commands is perfect
But when I did
:source myscript.vim
Only the second and third command are applied,the first with tab character no.
Why?

If the ^I is the two characters ^ and I, then the first command would look for the character ^ and insert (I) a D at the start of those lines.
You should insert a literal tab character (with Ctrl+V Tab) where you now have ^ and I.
Alternatively, just use (something like)
%!cut -f 1 | awk -v ORS=', ' '{ print }'
This picks out the first tab-delimited column with the cut and then reformats the resulting rows into comma-space-separated columns.
Shorter, but just commas (not comma-space) between the resulting columns:
%!cut -f 1 | tr 'n' ','

Alternate solution found,instead of enter the ^I, I simply enter ..a tab pressed after f (f+TAB D)
So my script now is
#!/usr/bin/vim
#the space after f is not a space,is a tab so press tab
%norm f D
%norm $i,
%!awk '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i++ ) printf $i " " }'
Tested and works perfectly.

Alternate solution found,instead of enter the ^I, I simply enter ..a tab pressed after f (f+TAB D)
So my script now is
#!/usr/bin/vim
#the space after f is not a space,is a tab so press tab
%norm f D
%norm $i,
%!awk '{ for (i=1;i<=NF;i++ ) printf $i " " }'
Tested and works perfectly.
