The <B><TT CLASS="examp">:s</TT></B> (substitute) command behaves a little bit
|
|
different to that of vi. If you type a command like this in vi <NOBR>
|
|
<B><TT CLASS="examp">:s/XXXX/UU/</TT></B></NOBR> then the four XXXX's are
|
|
replaced by
|
|
two UU's. This means, the file size decreases and all characters after
|
|
the replacement are moved to another position in the file. Since bvi
|
|
does not move characters, only two XX's are replaced by two UU's and
|
|
the third and fourth X still remains in the file.<BR>
|
|
Another example:
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<B><TT CLASS="examp">:0,500s/Taste\0/Key\0/</TT><FONT COLOR=#AAAAAA>RETURN</FONT></B><BR>
|
|
</BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This command replaces within the first 500 bytes of a file the 0 -
|
|
terminated ASCII string "<TT CLASS="examp">Taste</TT>"
|
|
with the 0 - terminated
|
|
string "<TT CLASS="examp">Key</TT>". After the substitution
|
|
you will find a
|
|
character sequence "<TT CLASS="examp">Key\0e\0</TT>" in the file.<BR>
|
|
CAUTION: If the replace
|
|
string is longer than the find string, additional bytes are overwritten!
|
|
<BR>
|
|
This behaviour will not be changed by setting the
|
|
<TT CLASS="examp">:set memmove</TT> option!
|
|
<P>
|
|
Of course you can do also binary substitutions, similar to the search
|
|
command. The ability of remembering patterns like <B><TT CLASS="examp">\(pattern\)</TT></B>
|
|
is currently not implemented.
