I tested the mapping I gave; it worked. So its a question of finding
out what's happening
with your setup. Some ideas...
1. What's vim --version show?
2. Find out what your mapping actually looks like:
map ,blah :echo %s/\(foo\<bar>bar\)//g<cr>
I get E15: Invalid expression: %s/\(foo\|bar\)//g but clearly the
substitute looks right.
3. Check your cpoptions setting; you don't want the "<" character in
there for this to work.
See :help map_bar
