Hi there,

I am trying to write an EX command like the following :

: %s/this|that/\u&/

I want it to find this OR that and capitalize the first letter.

I am wondering how to write such a command. It doesn't work on my vi editor.

My editor does not seem to have the set extended option for extended regular
characters (caldrake linux)
