I found this You have to use normal to execute normal mode commands in command mode:
:g/searchString/ normal ^A Note that you have to press Ctrl-V Ctrl-A to get the ^A character. I have :s@\d\+@\=submatch(0) +1@g to do what I want. But can CTRL-A or ^A be used in a :s@search@replace@g command? I haven't found anything that shows that it can be used that way. I saw in :help that it can be used in a macro. It seems if it could be used in a single line search with global replacement at the command line then it could also be used in a map. I'm just curious because I found a workable solution when I was trying to figure out if CTRL-A could be used. Thanks -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
