Text substitution

: S/old/new//Replaces the first occurrence of old in a row with new
: s/old/new/g//Replace all old in line with new
: n,m s/old/new/g//Replace all old from N to M with new
:%s/old/new/g//Replace all old in current file with new

Simple substitution expressions
:%s/four/4/g
The "%" range prefix means that the substitution is performed on all rows, and the Last "G" Mark represents all the matching points in the replacement row, and if only the current row is manipulated, the% can be removed

If you have a word like "thirtyfour", the above command will go wrong. In this case, the word will be replaced with "Thirty4″." To resolve this problem, use "<" to specify the beginning of the matching word:

:%s/<four/4/g
Obviously, this will still make a mistake when dealing with "fourty". Use ">" to solve this problem:
:%s/<four>/4/g
If you are coding, you may just want to replace "four" in the comment, while preserving the code. Since this is difficult to specify, you can add a "C" tag to the replacement command so that Vim prompts you before each replacement:
:%S/<FOUR>/4/GC

Word Exact match substitution
