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.
