While trying to purge comment lines inside a variable, I encountered the

a<NL>b
:echo substitute("a\nb", '[^\n]', '<!NL>', 'g')
<!NL><!NL><!NL>
app-editors/vim-7.2.303 (Gentoo amd64),
not fixed in
app-editors/vim-7.2.442 (Gentoo ~amd64)
I also see this (which, from the help paragraph mentioned by John, might
be intentional) in Vim 7.3a. However, after some experimenting, I found
how not to match a linefeed:
:echo substitute("a\nb", '[^\d0]', '<!NL>', 'g')
<!NL>
<!NL>
see :help NL-used-for-Nul
Best regards,
Tony.
