In using :s with the /g flag, I take it the potential changes are
marked first, and then executed, per line?
It would seem so.
By the way, I would have used a simpler pattern for such a task:
%s/\v%(foo\=[^]*)@=(\x\x)/0x\1/g
Thanks that is exactly what I expect: it works for all values listed in
foo attribute. I don't need to repeat the command.
Good lesson for me today: keep it simple ;-)
I prefer when dealing with that many special characters to use the
very-magic form
Me too. I can't stand trying to match \( \) with my eyes, they just
don't look right, not to mention \{ \? \+... Egrep and Perl have it
right. I wish I could turn very-magic on by default.

repeat replace many time on each line
Hello,
I've Xml document with attribute likes:
foo=00 12 AF
I want to replace with:
foo=0x00 0x12 0xAF
I try:
%s/\%(\%(foo=\\)\@=\%(0x[0-9A-F]\{2\}\s\)*\)\@=\([0-9A-F]\{2\}\)/0x\1/g
It works fine for each first occurrence of each line but not on others
whatever I've put g option.
I have to use repeat manually until change is finish.
How can I do repeat?
Thanks,
Arnaud.

I reply myself with help file content: Since CTRL-V is used to paste, you can't use it to start a blockwise Visual selection. You can use CTRL-Q instead. You can also use CTRL-Q in Insert mode and Command-line mode to get the old meaning of CTRL-V. But CTRL-Q doesn't work for terminals when it's used for control flow. -- Reclaim Your Inbox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird
