I am running sam -d in a Debian Linux Subsystem on Windows. I am editing a series of documents that require several changes per line(s).

I can for instance change:

I love working in sam in teh terminal

to

I love working in sam -d in the terminal

using:

.x/sam/c/sam -d/
.x/teh/c/the

Is it possible to combine multiple changes into a single expression? If so, can you provide an example for me. I have tried a few things without success.

Hi, 

Yep, seems you can combine changes with 

,x {
x/sam/c/sam -d/
x/teh/c/the/
}

Adding an optional guard before the opening brace. Note the changes must be correct way round otherwise you get the error "?changes not in sequence"

Thank you! I was erring in that I failed to repeat x.
