vim copy and replace text

Question

Lets say that i have this text:

$test = \'lorem\';
$test2= \'ipsum\';

and I want to copy lorem and paste into ipsum. I tried to do yi\' on lor

Answer 1

I usually go to the sed command.

:%s/ipsum/lorem/g

• % means do this for every line
• s means sed, or search and replace
• g at the end means replace every ipsum with lorem; if you omit this, it only replaces the first.
