I want to be prompted for a replacement string for each `l'
  in 

\begin{tabular}{lrlllcc}

matching p{?cm}.
I tried 
 M-x replace-regexp <RET> l <RET> p{\?cm} <RET>

but it doesn't work (nor \? only).

Help me!

M-x query-replace ...

will prompt you.

When replacing just a string, no regexp is needed.

Otherwise

M-x query-replace-regexp ...

Indeed!
I was wrong with the keys bindings.
My apologies for the noise.
