There are many times when you want to replace multiple occurrences of a word in a file with another word. In small files you can do it manually. But in large files, you can’t take on that method. Vim editor provides a simple command to do this. Say you want to replace a word ‘begin‘ with the word ‘end‘ from a file ‘test‘.
In the terminal,
vim test
Once you have the file opened, simply type this command
:%s/begin/end/g
This command will replace all the occurrences of ‘begin‘ with ‘end‘
