Keep what he sent you, only instead of
:%s/...
do
:'<,'>s/...
the same way you would use explicit marks. Eg, go to the first line,
'ma', then to the second line, 'mb', then
:'a,'bs/...
etc.
Actually, when you have *anything* visually highlighted, just hitting
':' will get the "'<,'>" magically prepended to any command you'd type,
so you'd immediately see
:'<,'>| <-- '|' == cursor
filled in before you'd even type a single character.
