Many thanks John and Ben for your help. I'm not sure though how to use
nr2char() for the second change. However, I slightly modified John's
convert() function and got the required result:
function! Conva_d(linenr)
let line = getline(a:linenr)
let result = []
for i in ["a","b","c","d"]
call add(result, substitute(line, 'x\(\w\)\@!','_' . i, 'g'))
endfor
call setline(a:linenr, result[0])
execute a:linenr . 'put =result[1:]'
endfunction
