copied!<p>The fine answers already point interesting solutions, but here's another one, making use of the <code>\zs</code>, which marks the start of the match. In this pattern:</p> <pre><code>/[0-9]\zs / </code></pre> <p>The searched text is <code>/[0-9] /</code>, but only the space counts as a match. Note that you can use the class <code>\d</code> to simplify the digit character class, so the following command shall work for your needs:</p> <pre><code>:s/\d\d\zs /, /g ; matches only the space, replace by `, ' </code></pre> <p>You said you have multiple lines and these changes are only to certain lines. You can either visually select the lines to be changed or use the <code>:global</code> command, which searches for lines matching a pattern and applies a command to them. Now you'd need to build an expression to match the lines to be changed in a less precise as possible way. If the lines that begins with optional spaces, a <code>[</code> and two digits are the only lines to be matched and no other ones, then this would work for you:</p> <pre><code>:g/\s*[\d\d/s/\d\d\zs /, /g </code></pre> <p>Check the help for <a href="http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/pattern.html" rel="nofollow"><em>pattern.txt</em></a> for <code>\ze</code> and similar and <a href="http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/repeat.html#%3aglobal" rel="nofollow"><code>:global</code></a>.</p> <hr> <p><em>Homework: use the help to understand <code>\zs</code> and see how this works:</em></p> <pre><code>:s/\d\d\zs\ze /,/g </code></pre>
