you can supress the interpretation of metacharacters by backslash escaping them...

e.g.

As you can see, the .* at the beginning and end of line are still treated as metacharacters (as are the anchors).
ok but my_pattern_has_special_chars looks like
Code:
blabla 'toto' rep:/titi/toto/

so I protect it between #

if I understand what you mean, I should do like this:
Code:
:%s/^.*blabla\ \'toto\'\ rep\:\/titi\/toto\///

Am I right? (if it is the case, it si ok because my pattern never change)
