Granted, there is a grey line between scripting and programming but a simple regex match and substitution is distinctly at the scripting end of a continuous spectrum. Especially since its nothing more than a editor command. I couldn't possibly consider that a programming question. Frankly its almost too simple to be a scripting question.
