I tried it with a ".. combination, but it doesn't work because powershell is complaining for a second " to close the string. I also tried it like \=@@ which works fine as replace pattern, but not for searches. I tried to set it to Register a with @a=@@ And I tried to paste it with <C-r>a , but it doesn't work, because commands like <C-r> are not working in written state. Do you have a solution for that problem. I also would be fine If there is a way to read out the seach pattern from a File somehow with :r.

Hello Ben,

Thank you very much for your answer!

I looked into :execute, but I'm not really understand the way to use it. For example, I have now found a way to do that with let. I open my 3 files in seperate tabs with the -p parameter, copy my replacement pattern with let @@=getline('.'), copy my search pattern with @/=getline('.') and search and replace in the main File with :%s//\=@@/g how would I make such command with exec? Sadly the let command doesn't seem to work silent, else my problem would be solved...

Thanks again
Marcel
