What about three liner solution?
In vi/vim:
:g/abc/s//[Control-V][Control-\]/g
:g/[^[Control-V][Control-\]]/\*/g
:g/[Control-V][Control-\]/s//abc/g
I'm using [Control-V][Control-\] to replace 'abc' pattern with 034 octal character. Then replace all other characters with '*' (or something else) and then replace 034 octal character back to 'abc' again. You can use any other character instead of octal 034, e.g. '@' but this character must not occur in the file. If this is the case, then the same procedure beomes easier:
:g/abc/s//@/g
:g/[^@]/s//*/g
:g/@/s//abc/g
You can, of course, map this procedure to a single keystroke (map command in vi/vim) to get this one-liner of yours.
