w*rldinside of it
$ rg "w\w+rld"
anyfile3.txt
1:The wooooorld's on fire!
anyfile.txt
1:Hello world!
anyfile2.txt
1:The world is not enough
- Replace the
w*rldwith the wholeuniverse
$ lsub "w\w+rld" "universe"
./anyfile2.txt
000001:The world is not enough
Replace with "universe"? (n)ext/next (f)ile/(r)eplace/replace (a)ll/(q)uit > r
./anyfile3.txt
000001:The wooooorld's on fire!
Replace with "universe"? (n)ext/next (f)ile/(r)eplace/replace (a)ll/(q)uit > r
./anyfile.txt
000001:Hello world!
Replace with "universe"? (n)ext/next (f)ile/(r)eplace/replace (a)ll/(q)uit > n
