Escape character in vi?
I want to replace a string which contains "/" in vi but what is the escape character for forward slash?
e.g. I have a text file with the contents below and I want to replace "/Top/Sub/Sub1" with "ABC".
/Top/Sub/Sub1
The replace command I am using is %s/string_before_replace/string_after_replace/g.
