String replace in VIM

This is the first post on the quickies category. Actually it is more like bookmarks to me but usefull quick tips for everybody (i know why not use some bookmarking site, well why not use my site ).

If you want to replace an occurence of a string in vim to another then use:

:%s/foo/bar/g = find each occurance of 'foo' and replace it with 'bar' without asking for confirmation

:%s/foo/bar/gc = find each occurance of 'foo' and replace it with 'bar' asking for confirmation first

:%s/<foo>/bar/gc = find (match exact word only) and replace each occurance of 'foo' with 'bar'

:%s/foo/bar/gci = find (case insensitive) and replace each occurance of 'foo' with 'bar'

:%s/foo/bar/gcI = find (case sensitive) and replace each occurance of 'foo' with 'bar'

Note that the replacement without the ‘g’ option will be done for the first occurence of the string to find. For a detailed help, while in vim, type ‘:help substitude’.

Back to e107

The attempt on migrating StratoSector from e107 to Joomla was a total disaster. The boggest problem i had is that the site was realy slow. I thought that the CMS in combination with the hoster was the reason that the site was so damn slow some times. What it turned out to be is that the hoster is the sole reason and installing Jommla only worsened the problem. I couldn’t get a nice response time whatever i would try to do. One more problem was that i would have to loose content (users, arcade game high scores etc). Those two troubles made me descide to go back to e107. Nothing like the good ole friends. All in all, migrating from e107 to Joomla is definitely possible but i wouldn’t recomend it on a shared server. Test before you decide
