Is it possible to do something like the following in vim?
:1,3|7,9 s/import/new
What I'm trying to do is:
- Replace the word 'import' with 'new' on lines 1-3
- Do the same on lines 7-9

`:1,3s/import/new/ | 7,9&&` – phd May 23 '20 at 22:19

yeah, or perhaps, `%s/import/new/gc`. Specifically, just use the confirm flag and decline changes on lines where you do not want to have the substitution. – Patrick Bacon May 24 '20 at 02:07
