Is it possible in vim to do the following:

Search for this block of data:

# Catalog Service 2.0 for uat03         <LocationMatch "^/Services/?">         PathPrepend /inquiryservices         Cluster 172.21.1.1:999         </LocationMatch>

And change Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999 to Cluster 172.21.1.2:7000

It needs to have uat03 (or 02, 01) on the line and this line 'PathPrepend /inquiryservices' for the Cluster to be changed.

Yes.  Embed following into a file, have cursor above any blocks you want changed, and source this:

let uat= search('^\s*#\s*Catalog.*uat0[123]$','W') if uat  if getline(uat+1) =~ '<LocationMatch>'  let hasprepend = search('^\s*PathPrepend /inquiryservices','Wn')  let lmend      = search('^\s*</LocationMatch>','W')  if lmend && hasprepend   exe uat+1 "," lmend-1 "s/Cluster 172.21.1.1:9999/Cluster 172.21.1.2:7000/e"  endif  endif endif

That's a one shot change.  You could wrap this into a function or map and call it as often as wished.

I suggest asking vim questions on the vim mailing list, BTW.  See http://vim.sourceforge.net/community.php .  You might get a better answer than mine there, too.
