Vim multiline editing like in sublimetext?

Question

I started to use gvim, and I can\'t quite understand how the multiline edit works in gvim.

For example:

Original text:

asd asd asd asd asd;
asd a         


        

Answer 1

if you use the "global" command, you can repeat what you can do on one online an any number of lines.

:g//.

example:

:g/foo/.s/bar/baz/g

The above command finds all lines that have foo, and replace all occurrences of bar on that line with baz.

:g/.*/

will do on every line
