determine if a certain line occurs in a file

[cyboman]

i'm trying to write a small vim function which will modify a copyright
year each time i'm opening a file. here is what i came up with

function UpdateCopyrightYear()
  let l:cmd = 's/\(\d\+\)/\1-'.strftime("%Y").'/'
  g/Copyright 2010, Company E/exec l:cmd
endfunction

the problem that i'm facing right now is if the pattern is not in the
file, i get an error message, E486: Pattern not found Copyright 2010,
Company E. is there a way to tell vim not to execute the command if
pattern is not found, say something like:

function UpdateCopyrightYear()
  let l:cmd = 's/\(\d\+\)/\1-'.strftime("%Y").'/'
  if g/Copyright 2010, Company E/
    g/Copyright 2010, Company E/exec l:cmd
  endif
endfunction

thanks, any help is appreciated.
