help on %s feature in gvim

[sh.v...@gmail.com]

In a C Source file,
there are a bunch of variables as

tv[1]
tv[2]
....
tv[234]


I want to replace them such that first '[' is replaced by '_' and
second one deleted. So file has replaced new names as

tv_1
tv_2
...
tv_234

can somebody help me with this?

%s/tv\[/tv_/g
replaces he first but how to distinguish the second from other similar
cases.

Oops! /g modifier forgotten!

%s/tv\[\(\d\+\)\]/tv_\1/g

Hi,

i would use:

%s~tv\[\([^\]]*\)\]~tv_\1~g

which means replace "tv" followed by "[" followed by anything except a "]"
and save the content between "[" and "]" in \1 by tv_ and the saved
content in \1.

Kind regards
