I get an E16: invalid range error
Yeah, this can happen if pattern is found
in line number < 4. (Then .-3 results in <=0 which is invalid
line number). Just insert 4 dummy empty lines
at beginning of file to avoid this.

This means that the -3d counts from the beginning of the pattern?? In my
file The first occurrence of the patten expands from line 1 to line 82.
