Using the ":g[lobal]" command: "in every line which includes the letter
z, do nothing". Remember, in a script, every line is interpreted as an
ex-command.
You may want to use
keepjumps 'z
instead, which would move to the start of the line with mark z (where 'z
is interpreted as a range), or even
normal g`z
Best regards,
