I'm trying to do a substitution in a 'horizontal/virtual column range'. I have an ASCII table where the columns are separated by tab characters (for now). I want to wrap the contents (which contain space (U+0020) and \S characters, being of unequal length of course!) of some specific table columns in asterisks (think Markdown emphasis). I thought I could use a range and \%v to match the text between two screen virtual columns and then use an expression with substitute() to wrap instances of \T\+ inside the matched screen column range, something like
'a,'b s/\%13v.*\%46v/\=substitute(submatch(0),'\T\+','*&*','g')/ but apparently I've misunderstood \%v because I get no match. So what is the right way to do this? I'm not looking forward to changing three columns on some 70 lines manually! /bpj -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
