In a job some years ago, we had a real nice editor, maybe it was
Ultraedit. The job files were a throwback to punch cards, so you would
do a find/replace restricted to columns 1-8 for example.
I haven't seen any FOSS editor with this column option.
Does anybody know one?

Combine "grep" with "cut" may be?

Or may be "grep" can limit itself already. Can you give an example?

jstar should have it, but it fails. Seems a bug.

You have to set column mode (^OX), then mark start and end of block
(^K^B, ^K^K), then search inside block (^Q^F, option 'k').

I usually use awk for things that are column specific.

Or I'll do visual block mode selection in vim and apply a regex thereto.
