I've been trying to record a rather simple macro with two substitutions. The whole macro is: dd"+pkdd:%s/\t/, /g :%s/ \(kb\d\+\),/ \1.0,/g "+y$

However, the second substitution is there to reformat numbers from a format 123 to 123.0 but the input does not always need the substitution so it fails. When it fails the whole macro stops so the last part ("+y$) does not execute.

Is there any way to prevent this?

I've figured it out thanks to this. One needs to put an e flag to the substitution so the substitution looks like this: :%s/ \(kb\d\+\),/ \1.0,/ge. e suppresses the error message and lets the macro finish.
