Using VIM, what is the find\replace function for replacing the word 'hot' with 'cold' in an entire document?
- :s/hot/cold/g
- :%s/hot/cold/g
- :qw! hot\cold
- :w!/hot/cold%s
EXPLANATION
Vim provides the :s (substitute) command for search and replace. The :substitute command searches for a text pattern, and replaces it with a text string. There are many options, but these are what you probably want::%s/foo/bar/g
Find each occurrence of 'foo' (in all lines), and replace it with 'bar'.
:s/foo/bar/g
Find each occurrence of 'foo' (in the current line only), and replace it with 'bar'.
:%s/foo/bar/gc
Change each 'foo' to 'bar', but ask for confirmation first.
:%s/\<foo\>/bar/gc
Change only whole words exactly matching 'foo' to 'bar'; ask for confirmation.
