ah, yes, you may add |update at the end of the argdo line to write the
file (if changed) after the substitute, and :new before :argdo to avoid
problems if the current file is 'modified' (with :argdo! if the current
file is 'modified' the changes will be lost), or, like me (and this is
why I forgot) you may set 'autowriteall' in your vimrc.
Best regards,
Tony.
