It should be possible (though less obvious) to do it with only a substitute.
Let's try:
:'<,'>s/^.*\S.*$/# \0
i.e. prepend a hash sign and a space wherever we find start-of-line, zero or
more of anything, one nonblank, zero or more of anything, end-of-line (in the
range, here shown as a Visual area).

Hi Tony!
:)
There are more ways to confuse a newbie... :O)
Let me explain just to see whether I got this riddle solved this time
by myself:
'<,'> for a range marked in visual mode
s/ substitue/replace
^.*\S.*$ match "beginning of line,something,at least one
non-whitespace,something,end of line"
or in more detail:
^ start of line
. anything except a line break
* zero or more (as many as possible) of the preceding atom
\S one character, but not a space, not a tab and not a linebreak
.* zero or more of anything except a line break (as before)
$ end of line
/ with
# \0 "# ",the whole line
\0 is, more precisely, the whole "match" (which is the whole line here since
we matched something with no line breaks, going from start-of-line to
end-of-line).
Right?

vim-sudoku.... ;))))
Have a nice weekend!

Right. Come to the front of the class and let me paste a gold star on your
forehead.
Best regards,
