I have a string that has lots of forward slashes. I need to search it

everything forward slash and find it in vim. Is there a way I need not
do that? For now, I use 'grep -n' to get the line number and then delete
it. I don't actually type the string, I just use cut-and-paste!
You can use any separator you want, not just /
:%s!/path/with/slashes/!/newpath/!
In :s and :g any separator (except \ | ") is OK. In / and ? the end separator
(if any) must be the same as the search command, and can't be used (unless
backslash-escaped) as part of the pattern.
Best regards,
