From 0ae98ab709b9ff06d6bc68274f2e9890614800ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benedict Reuschling Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 16:52:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix the last example to really replace all occurrences of the search string in the file by adding the global (g) option at the end. Without it, only the first match is replaced, subsequent ones are ignored. The intention of the example is to demonstrate something else, but adding the g matches the example to what the description says.
