I have the vimdiff of two files open.

Depends on how strictly you're using your vocabulary. If you only have two vim-windows open (as is typical with vimdiff), and your other buffers are just passively open (rather than visible in windows) then you can just use

  :windo g/<pattern>/d

which I do regularly.

If, however, you have more than the 2-3 diff windows open, you'd have to do something like

  :windo if &diff | exec 'g/<pattern>/d' | endif

(the exec... is to prevent the :g command from eating the "|endif" as part of its command) to prevent the command from executing in other windows.

Since that's ugly, you can also enter your first diff-buffer and execute your command as usual, then go to your other diff-buffer(s) and execute

  @:

which executes the last Ex command again. Also something I use regularly.

  :help @:
  :help :windo

Hope this helps,
