You can loop by using two macros that keep calling each other.

The stop criterion can be an "error" such as trying to go left past
the end of line, not finding another occurrance of a string (maybe with
"nowrapscan" set), etc.  I've used it, but very rarely because it's
dangerous.  If you come up with some useful stuff, please publish it
here.
