<p>Syntax: <code>RepeatLast [<var>times</var>]</code><br>
Abbreviation: <code>RL</code>
</p>
<p>repeats for the given number of times the last find or replace operation
(with replace we mean here a single replace, even if the last <code>Replace</code>
operation ended with a global substitution).
</p>
<p><code>RepeatLast</code> is especially useful for researching a given number of times, or
replacing something a given number of times. The standard technique for
accomplishing this is:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <code>Find</code> (or <code>FindRegExp</code>) the string you are interested in;
</li><li> if you want to repeat a replace operation, <code>ReplaceOnce</code> with
the replacement string you are interested in;
</li><li> now issue a <code>RepeatLast <var>n</var>-1</code> command, where <var>n</var> is the
number of occurrences you wanted to skip over, or replace.
</li></ol>
<p>The important thing about this sequence of actions is that it will
work this way even in a macro. The <code>Replace</code> command cannot be used
in a macro unless you really want to interact with <code>ne</code> during the
macro execution. Avoiding interaction during macros is the primary
reason the commands <code>ReplaceAll</code> and <code>ReplaceOnce</code> are
provided.
