howto substitute word in vi command mode
Hi

I'm trying to substitute word "January" with word "March" in my script but in certain lines only.
I have couple words containing pattern that I want to substitute e.g.
- log.January.1.array
- log_January_1_array_1
- log.January.1.array
- log_January_1_array_11

Trying to do cmd below in command mode of vi but it doesn't work:

:%s/January/March/481-515

What should be correct syntax for this to happen ?

thx.
