autocommand to replace special characters into a file.

Hello

 

 

 

 

At work I have to edit regurlarly files containing special characters like ^M or ^A

 

for the moment Im' at the first stage where I just try to make replace a string by another one in my autocommand:

 

 

au VimEnter,BufNewFile,BufRead,BufEnter  *.log  s/string1/string2/

 

 

 

But this doesn't give me good results:

Wehn opeining a .log file, Vim prompts me to know if I want to replace the first occurence ;

hitting "y" (yes key) change the first matching one then brings me error messages :

 

E488: trailing characters

E486: pattern not found string1

 

Any mean to make it replace all matching strings whitout prompting and without error ?

 

Thanks in adavance for your help.

 

Eddine.
