Maybe something like let refrain=0 | exec 'v/pattern/let refrain+=1' | if (refrain == 0) | %s//replacement/g | endif This assumes we shouldn't refrain from doing the substitution, but if any lines in the file don't match, it will set 'refrain' to a non-zero value. The 'if' block then checks the value to see if it should refrain from doing the substution, and only proceed with the substitution if all the lines matched the /pattern/ in question. Making it work for arbitrary ranges or grep-subsets of lines gets a little trickier, but doable. -tim -- -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
