Hahaha. It always amuses me whenever we have a thread about a particular topic, which refrences a particular search-and-replace command. Various other people reply and give examples with which the said search-and-replace command will not work; and then give their own versions of the command.On Wed, 27 Aug 2003 16:17:30 +0200 Francois Bottin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Wouldn't it be easier to read if you wrote it s/C/Perl/ ?
So that it wouldn't change Choo-choo to Perlhoo-choo. I wasn't just thinking of that one paragraph...
Then: s/\bC\b/Perl/g ;-) (Yes, I also added a g at the end to not only substitute the 1st occurence)
Still doesn't work when sentences end in C.
All that said, isn't there like a "One True Search-and-replace Command" which will handle all this weirdness of characters being at the start/middle/end of words which should not be replaced? This is just an informative question though (I hope it doesn't end like an unproductive Vi Vs. Emacs sort of discussion). =)
