That's work fine, thanks!
Can I ask another question? How can someone substitute or delete a block
of text which expands to more than one line? E.g. the text:
Morning bgfn nbgfn............................more text..
........more text...............
....................... end of text.
Can I use a sth like this?
s/Morning,text/anothertext
try
:s/Morning\_.*text/anothertext/
or
:s/Morning\(\n\|.\)*text/anothertext/
:help \_

Sorry, that works but I forgot to mention that I have many occurrences
of /text/ (last word in block) and I want to substitute to the first
occurrence only.
