[SOLVED] how can vim replace all the same words in a certain line.

e3399 · 12-02-2010, 08:09 AM

15 for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
I want to replace "i" with "test" in the line above,whose line number is 15.
When I tried this command
:15s/i/test/
Line 15 turned to be this:
for(test = 0; i < N; i++)
It only replace the first "i",but I want to change all "i" in line 15.

Any help will be appreciated.

After googled,I knew how to solve this problem.
:s/i/test/g

Just remember to keep your 15 in there or you might end up with 'test' elsewhere in your code (like at the start of an 'if')

Code:

:15s/\<i\>/test/g

If your cursor is on the line itself, omit the line number (15) or replace with "."

Code:

:.s/\<i\>/test/g
