    Hi!
    vi has perl regular expressions?
    If you compile vim with perl support, you can directly execute perl commands inside vim

    see also: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/if_perl.html

    Have fun!

    Update Your command would be: 

    :perldo $_ =~ s/#1/# 1/g;

    [download]
    with :perldo executing the given command on each line of your file.
