How would I apply the last keyboard macro t= o each line that begins in the region which match a certain regular express= ion. For example=2C say I was editing a Perl script and wanted to apply the= last macro to all line which consist solely of a comment. For example: 1 # Print some text 2 print "foo"=3B 3 print "foobar"=3B 4 5 # And then a while later 6 print "foobarbaz"=3B I would want to apply the macro to lines 1 and 6 which match the regular ex= pression ^\s-*#. Thanks a bunch!
