yes I know s/string1/string2 will not replace ^M or ^A ;
I just want to make a first try to replace string1 to string2 first

Hello
At work I have to edit regurlarly files containing special
characters
like*^M or ^A*
for the moment Im' at the first stage where I just try to make
replace a
string by another one in my autocommand:
*au VimEnter,BufNewFile,BufRead,__BufEnter *.log
s/string1/string2/*
But this doesn't give me good results:
Wehn opeining a .log file, Vim prompts me to know if I want to
replace
the first occurence ;
hitting "y" (yes key) change the first matching one then brings
me error
messages :
E488: trailing characters
E486: pattern not found string1
Any mean to make it replace all matching strings whitout
prompting and
without error ?
Thanks in adavance for your help.
Eddine.
_Exactly_ what command did you use? s/string1/string2 (where string1
is six letters, Sierra Tango Romeo India November Golf, and the
digit one) will never replace a ^M or a ^A
Best regards,
Tony.

Well,
s/string1/string2
will replace "string1" by "string2" in the current line
only, and give an error if there is no match.
See
:help range
to replace in the whole file
:help :s_flags
to give no error for no match
and near the bottom of the list given at
:help /ordinary-atom
about replacing a "special" (e.g. non-printable)
character.
Best regards,
Tony.
