A script that will do what you want and more is "Visual Block
Commands" by our own Dr. Chip.
You can find it at: http://mysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/
index.html#VimFuncs . Try it, you'll like it.

Dear Vim Experts,
I'm looking for search and replace expressed on columns instead of
rows.
Something like:
:15,$s/foo/bar/gc
where 15 is the first column to consider and $ (in this case) is the
last column (whose value will change from row to row).
I've googled a little and looked in the vim docs but nothing happened
but I don't think (or hope ;-)) that this is impossible.
Any hints?
thanks a lot
Walter
