s [[/[<srchpat>]]/[<reppat>][/]]
"substitute"
DESCRIPTION:
's' is used to replace all occurrences of a given string with a
replacement string, within a defined region of text.
If a text region has been marked and optionally highlighted, the
search and replace operation is performed within that region,
excluding the character directly under the cursor. If no text region
has been so marked, the region is defined as the from the current
cursor position to the end of the line. If a rectangular text region
has been highlighted, 's' operates only on the text in that region.
The arguments to s can be in one of several forms:
s/<srchpat>/<reppat>/ <srchpat> and <reppat> are both
non-null; <srchpat> is a regular
expression; <reppat> is treated as a
literal string; all occurrences of a
match with <srchpat> within the
effected region are replaced with
<reppat>
s//<reppat>/ no explicit search pattern is given;
s uses the regular expression used in
the most recent search operation
s/<reppat>/ no explicit search pattern is given,
and the first search pattern delimiter
"/" is not present; s uses the
<srchpat> regular expression used in
the most recent search-and-replace
operation
s/<srchpat>// replaces all occurrences of <srchpat>
within the effected range with the
null string; in other words,
occurrences of matches with <srchpat>
are removed
If '&' appears in <reppat>, '&' is interpreted to mean <srchpat>. For
example, "s/Smith/Mr. John &/" is equivalent to "s/Smith/Mr. John
Smith/".
The Ce implementation of positioning after a substitute command places
the cursor at the last char of the last place it did a substitute.
