I want to use a register's contents as the pattern for a substitute.  I 
can't find registers mentioned in the help for :sub or pattern.  Is there 
a way I can do it?

I'm trying to clean up some files that have been corrupted by being 
transferred between several hosts with different encodings and a buggy 
editor in the middle.  It has become scattered with patterns of odd 
strings such as "甕" throughout. I figure it's easiest just to visual-yank 
the string to a register and use the register's contents as the pattern to 
substitute to a string of blanks. 

Thanks,
