Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Assistance Needed With Find/Replace in Vi Post 302388538 by NoSalt on Wednesday 20th of January 2010 06:20:36 PM

I must apologise, I believe I gave a bad example. I had to come up with it pretty quick and probably didn't do a good job. What I am looking for is a way to search for part of the string that is variable but with a known pattern, for example an IP address:

Code:
[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}.[0-9]{1,3}

and add/remove/change things at that part in the string without affecting the rest of the original string or the variable pattern. Which in this example is the IP address. Let me know if I am not making myself clear.

Thanks for reading and replying. Smilie
