Swapping in VI editor

Hi,

I am attempting to replace several similar words with another word in vi. Here is what I have written for the script:

3dTcat -prefix SuperBrik_4WAY_HRF ../JULY10_2007A/results2TENT/stats.JULY10_2007A+tlrc ../JULY10_2007G/results2TENT/stats.JULY10_2007G+tlrc ../JULY10_2007I/results2TENT/stats.JULY10_2007I+tlrc ../JULY11_2007F/results2TENT/stats.JULY11_2007F+tlrc ../JULY11_2007J/results2TENT/stats.JULY11_2007J+tlrc ../JULY12_2007A/results2TENT/stats.JULY12_2007A+tlrc ../JULY12_2007B/results2TENT/stats.JULY12_2007B+tlrc ../JULY12_2007I/results2TENT/stats.JULY12_2007I+tlrc ../JULY12_2007J/results2TENT/stats.JULY12_2007J+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007A/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007A+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007B/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007B+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007C/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007C+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007E/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007E+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007G/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007G+tlrc ../JUNE13_2007I/results2TENT/stats.JUNE13_2007I+tlrc ../JUNE14_2007D/results2TENT/stats.JUNE14_2007D+tlrc ../JUNE14_2007H/results2TENT/stats.JUNE14_2007H+tlrc ../JUNE15_2007A/results2TENT/stats.JUNE15_2007A+tlrc


What I want to do is replace the "stats.J*+tlrc" with "displayBriks". I am familiar with using the :s/ command to find and replace several identical words, but am unsure of how to do this for a regular expression in vi. Any idea on where to start?

Thank you,
