Sure, I could probably have used Perl for that, (s)ed/awk have
unfortunately not that powerful regular expressions. Secondly I do not
have any of these available on Windows and lastly I am faster doing the
manipulation in vim, than I am writing Perl programs. Plus, in Vim it is
really easy to try different ways out, undo, try again, etc. That really
is easier for me that running batch jobs and check the resulting file
afterwards.

That sounds seriously wrong. Is this also happening, when you start vim
using vim -u NONE -N <yourfile>?
