regex question....


Gang,

I was tried to find Jeffrey Friedl's email to figure out some quick
regex when it struck me that the list can clue me in.... [[I have
figured this out myself several times--well, 3 or 4 anyway--but it
was more trial/error than I need.]]

I have a file with ints from 0 to some N. What is the regex for vi
or vim to use that will catch them all in one substititon command?

I have tried :1,$/s/[0-9]][0-9][0-9]/foo/g

or things very close to that. Zip. I could have sworn that I noted
it dow n somewhere; cannot find.

tia.
