I have a question of using macros with parameter substitution :

E.G. I often use the command :

:%g/STRING/d

The only thing that changes is the string.If I map
this for instance under the # key , I would give
the command : # hello, and the macro is invoked as :
:%g/hello/d. The next time I invoke it with : # yes, the
command would be : %g/yes/d.


Is this possible in Vi, and HOW ??
