Hi,
vi is a very powerful tool. explore it
to do something over a number of lines you need to use
:<startline>,<endline> command
besides this vim provides recording.
however, i wud suggest you that try to use some external scripts like awk, sed etc to do such things.

dtactionicon
DtActionIcon(library call) DtActionIcon(library call)
NAME
DtActionIcon -- get the icon information for an action
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dt/Action.h>
char *DtActionIcon(
char *actionName);
DESCRIPTION
The DtActionIcon function gets the icon information for an action. The actionName argument is the name of the action. DtActionIcon
returns the name of the icon associated with an actionName action. If the action definition does not explicitly identify an icon name,
this function returns the default action icon name, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection''). The default action icon name
can be customized using the actionIcon X resource.
If there are multiple actionName actions, the string returned is the icon associated with the most general action. The most general action
is the one with the lowest precedence, as described in dtactionfile(4) (``Action Selection'').
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the DtActionIcon function returns a newly allocated copy of the icon name string ( ICON field) associated with
the action; otherwise, it returns NULL.
APPLICATION USAGE
The DtActionIcon function is useful for applications that provide a graphical interface to actions.
The application should use XtFree(3) to free the icon name string returned by the DtActionIcon function.
SEE ALSO
Dt/Action.h - DtAction(5), XtFree(3) dtactionfile(4), dtdtfile(4).
