Substitute Text in Last Visual Area
Got this from VIM Wiki
:%s/\%Vold/new/g # Substitute Text in Last Visual Area
# Now imagine you'd selected a visual block with (Control V, or Control Q (Windows)) you could do a column based substitute!
gv # revisualise last visual area

Vim: Including a register's contents in a substitute
"sub "fred" with contents of register "a" (Control R)
:s/fred/<c-r>a/g
or from the paste buffer
s/fred/<c-r>*/g
Here you actually do a Control-R.
It is often preferable to do use the following
:s/fred/\=@a/g : better alternative as register not displayed
unfortunately the \=@a must be at the beginning of replacement string
