I have to replace every occurrence of % in a file with % |. I have been effectively replacing text using the following construct:
:%s/\<text\>/replacement/g However when I try to do the following: :%s/\<%\>/% |/g I am greeted by an error message. Obviously, the % character needs to be treated differently for being replaced. Escap sequence? I cannot figure out how to do it. May be trivial for the gurus here. I will be thankful for a hint. Many thanks in advance. -- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
