vim search and replace between lines

# Basic syntax:
:<start_number>,<end_number>s/search_text/replacement_text/g

# Example usage:
# Say you have a file with the following text and only want to change 
# mispeled to misspelled on lines 2 and 3:
1. I mispeled a word on this line
2. I also mispeled a word on this line
3. Apparently I cant type mispeled properly

:2,3s/mispeled/misspelled/g # This would change the words on line 2 and 3

how to search replace in vim

-- How to search-replace (substitute) in vim --

:(RANGE)s/(SEARCH)/(REPLACE)/(GC)

(RANGE) can be
	- Blank for just current line
    - "Start, Stop" for line range, e.g. "4,8"
    - "%" for whole file

(SEARCH) can be simple text or a regex (see source for details)

(REPLACE) should be obvious...

(GC)
	- Appending "g" replaces all occurances, not just the first
    - Appending "c" allows vim to confirm each replacement
    They can be used together, separate, or not at all
