Default Replacing with Shell Script and VI
How can I use a shell script and VI to replace entire strings in a file?

I know the VI code:
Code:
:%s/search/replace/g
I have words with forward slashes in them though which doesn't work.

Example: Replace http:// with ftp://

doesn't work. Anyone know how to make it work?

You have to escape the characters:

http:\/\/ in order to use them as a regex. \ escapes.
