比如我寫了如下的一個信件

Hi tom,
I think I failed my anatomy test yesterday. I had a terrible
stomach ache. I ate too many fried green tomatoes.
Anyway, Tom, I need your help. I'd like to make the test up
tomorrow, but don't know where to begin studying. Do you
think you could help me? After work, about 7 PM, come to
my place and I'll treat you to pizza in return for your help. Thanks.
Your pal,
guy@phantom
我覺得tom可能出去旅游了不會收到這個郵件，我還是寄給別人那麼我可以這麼做

:1,$s/tom/David/g
其中 1，$表示從第一行到文本結束，/tom/David/g是正規表達式，表示將tom替換為David 那麼這個命令就是全文搜索tom並將其修改為David
