Hello, To replace all occurrences of "red" by "green" in the current file, you can use: :%s/red/green/g Another handy command is :g. With it you can replace all "red" by "green" where "blue" is: :g/blue/s/red/green/g :he :s :he current-file :he :g Tinou -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
