This is the Vim mailing list (not vi)! There is an example using g// at: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Power_of_g However I would just do a substitute: vim -c "%s/.*my_string.*/# &/" myfile.txt The .* before and after means it finds the whole line, and the & in the replacement represents that whole line.
