Thanks to everybody for their suggestions. Playing around a little, I went with using equivalence classes: :%s/[[=a=]]/a/g|%s/[[=e=]]/e/g|... which is still tedious, but at least a little less so. If there's some magic method I've missed (this happens to be a work thing, so I'm stuck on Win32 without the conversion utility mentioned elsewhere in the thread), I'd love to know how to improve this. -tim -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
