To answer your question directly, you should use the '@' notation. For e.g, let @a = PLT_count stores the value of PLT_count in register 'a'. But I do not understand why you need this! Can you post your function (MyFunc in the mail below)? Instead of using macros, it is easier to do the following: " Initlize PLT_count first let PLT_count = 0 " Search for all PLT's and replace them with the count g/PLT/ let PLT_count = PLT_count+1|s/PLT/\="PLT" .
