-=head1 EXAMPLES
-
- sub showmarks {
- my ($mark, $all);
- for $mark ('a' .. 'z') {
- eval {VI::GetMark($VI::ScreenId, $mark)};
- $all .= $mark unless ($@);
- }
- VI::Msg($VI::ScreenId,"Set marks: $all");
- }
-
- sub forall {
- my ($code) = shift;
- my ($i) = $VI::StartLine-1;
- while (++$i <= $VI::StopLine) {
- $_ = VI::GetLine($VI::ScreenId, $i);
- VI::SetLine($VI::ScreenId, $i, $_) if(&$code);
- }
- }
-
-Now you can do
-
- :perl forall sub{s/perlre/substitution/}
-
-Although you'll probably use
-
- :perldo s/perlre/substitution/
-
-instead.
