gvim search and replace

[Melvin Simon]

Hi,

I am new to gvim editor. Needed a small help regarding gvim search and replace.

I needed to search and replace as:-

AIO_P71_TSD0_CTRL with AIO_PRI_TSD0_CTRL
AIO_P71_TSD1_CTRL with AIO_PRI_TSD1_CTRL
AIO_P71_TSD2_CTRL with AIO_PRI_TSD2_CTRL

I tried the below:-

>s/AIO_P71_TSD\.*_CTRL/AIO_PRI_TSD\0_PRI_CTRL/g

i.e. I was guessing \0 would print the characters (here 0,1,2) matched by .* however looks like its matching the entire word. Can some one tell me how to accomplish the above search and replace.

Thanks in advance
Melvin

You're close. Try

:%s/AIO_\zsP71\ze_TSD.*_CTRL/PRI/g

You can read up about \zs and \ze at

:help /\zs
:help /\ze

Hmm, wouldn't just

:%s/P71/PRI/c

do the job?
