Ciao Matthias-Christian, > Hi, > how can I substitute a single word via regular expression?
The question is not very clear. I suppose that you mean that you want to substitute a pattern that appears as a single word, ie. surrounded by spaces. In this case, you can use the command :s/\(\s\+\)word\(\s\+\)/\1new_word\2/g to change in the current line every occurrance of the word "word" surrounded by spaces with the word "new_word" surrounded by the same spaces.
