Making Changes to large file in vi
so i have a large file that has many lines in it. i want to make changes (replace certain things) that are in a range of lines, but NOT the whole file. how do i do this? say for instance, if i want to change all the occurrences of the word "ramamama" to "ram cow welcome" in lines 9333 to 35000. How do i do this? below is as far as i've gotten: Code:
:%s~ramamama~ram cow welcome~g |

If you're using vim you can replace the slashes with another character. I'm not sure in other versions of vi though.

Please post what Operating System and version you are running and what Shell you are using.
Please post quantative figures for your file. Exact size? Number of records? Largest record size? And for your computer: How much memory do you have fitted? Quote:
Does the command work WITH the solidii? |
