The default for vim is "magic", which makes the command as typed look for a physical *, rather than the author's intended meaning of "repeat the last any-character". I fixed it to the standard usage, the other option is to put a \M or \V (nomagic or Very nomagic) before the *.

I recently inherited some legacy code and I wanted to replace all occurrences like:

print "xx"
print x,y
print 'xx'

to

logging.info("xy")

or

logging.info(x,y)

Building on the previous answer and in hopes that someone will benefit from it I used the following scriptcommand, that will change all occurrences:

%s/print\( .\*\*\)/logging.info\(\1\)/g

If you substitute % with . and remove /g you will end up with

.s/print\( .\*\*\)/logging.info\(\1\)

that will enable you to go over each match and choose whether you change it or not.

If you substitute '%'% with '.'. and remove '/g'/g you will end up with .s/print( .*)/logging.info(\1)
