Please bear with me. I am very olde school. I learned Unix text editing 
with ed on Version 7! With no apologies to emacs fans, I am a vi user. 
After years of hearing people extol the virtues of BBEdit especially for 
editing web pages, I finally bought a copy. Now I am trying to learn 
without reverting back to vi.

In vi (and ed), I could search for a pattern, then on every line found, run 
a substitute command using a different pattern.

For example, if I want to find every line with a colon and change it so 
that the line is a level 3 header, in ed or vi I could do: 
g/:/s/^.*$/<h3>&<\/h3>

Is there a BBEdit equivalent?

THANKS!
