Que?  Haven't I seen you use that syntax too?  I'm pretty
sure I had both here and on comp.lang.misc ...  AIR, you
you pointed out once before that it needs a / at the end.


It's from VI.  Specifically, it's the last part of an EX
(or ED) line-editor command within VI used to "substitute"
text, i.e., replace.  I used "" to represent an empty
string since this was a Usenet text message and I thought
that would be more clear.

E.g.,

:g/pattern/action

:g/^/s/on the stack/wrong answer/

I.e., that 'g' globally finds every line with a '^' start
of line, then 's' substitutes "wrong answer" for "on the stack"
once per line in every line where the '^' start of line was
found.

:g/^/s/on the stack//

The empty field for the replacement text in latter EX line
deletes the text.

If there were multiple instances per line to delete, you'd
globally replace per line:

:g/^/s/on the stack//g

VI with the EX (or ED) line-editor commands has the ability
to match the start or end of line.  This is very useful
for creating scripts, .bat's, or processing logs, or files
with many short lines of text.  Other text or word processors
can't do this.


So, it was just used to say replace this with that, but
to delete in this instance.
