:'a,'bg/fred/s/dick/joe/igc : VERY USEFUL Wow, thanks for the tip, any ideas on what it does? A lot of these seem to be learn to use regular expressions and not really vim related other than vim supports regular expressions. I.E. the 4 or 5 different ways to find an exactly 4 digit number that mostly seem to boil down to '/' does search by regular expressions and here is a regular expression that finds 4 digit numbers.
