We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Your first method is a bit too involved for me at this point :). A note to those using an international keyboard (ex US international), don't forget to press the space bar for d^ after the ^!

@calocedrus, :h :substitute is really the way to go in your case. Once you'll master :substitute, you'll have a good grasp of a key feature of the major sed *nix command.

Many good answers, and they worked for me, difficult to select one vs others! At this point (~ 1 month after I asked), @statox's answer seems to have received most votes so I'll select it as the answer, decision also supported by Luc's advice.
