Substitution of data and VI

I have this file:

PHP Code:



192.168.1.1  v0 
192.168.1.2  v0  
192.168.1.3  v1  
192.168.1.4  v1 
192.168.1.5  v1 
192.168.1.6  v2 
192.168.1.7  v2

I want to substitute the v0-2 with NAM0-2 to get:

PHP Code:



 
192.168.1.1  NAM0 
192.168.1.2  NAM0  
192.168.1.3  NAM1  
192.168.1.4  NAM1 
192.168.1.5  NAM1 
192.168.1.6  NAM2 
192.168.1.7  NAM2

How can I do so with VI

PHP Code:



/s/v0/NAM0/g

It doesnt work. thanks

Never mind I had a brain fart. It happens every now and then. The anwser to my problem was resolved by a simple google search:

PHP Code:



1,$s/thisvalue/withthis/g

Will do the trick. Sorry

FYI:
1,$
means line 1 to last line; equiv to
%
as in
%s/old/new/g
where g is every occurence on each line, otherwise it's just the first occurence on each line (in your case that's enough, you only have one per line).

Does that mean I could have used

PHP Code:



%s/old/new/g

instead of

PHP Code:



1,$s/thisvalue/withthis/g

?
