Execute current line in Bash from Vim

Question

This question is similar to Vim: execute current file?, but instead of executing the current file I want to execute only the current line.

Is this possible?<

Answer 1

If I have a command on a line of text within vi/Vim like this"

ls -la

Position the cursor anywhere on the line and do ":.!!" and press return.

That is: colon dot bang bang return

That will execute the text in that line in the current shell from within vi/Vim and have the output inserted within the text file.

I'm thinking that is what you were asking? It's like magic.
