How to replace text using VI editor

ajaz_javeed · 03-30-2007, 05:27 AM

Hello everybody,

I want to replace text using VI and I know to replace a single word like :

:%s/oracle/prod/g

This will replace the word oracle with prod.

Now, I am trying to replace /oracle/oracle with /Courseware/ora9i.

How could I achieve this ?

Thanks and Regards
AJAZ

Hi,

You need to escape the slashes (one of the special characters).
I.e: %s/\/oracle\/oracle/\/Courseware\/ora9i/g

Hope this helps.

PS: DO NOT CROSSPOST (read the rules).
