Vim regex range with current cursor position

Question

To substitute, what's the proper range format for current cursor position to end of file? I believe cursor is . and end of file will be $ .

Answer 1

Sorry if I'm misinterpreting, but if you want to do a replace from the current line until the end of the file, you can do:

:.,$ s/original/replace/g

As @PeterRincker mentions, the current line can be considered implicit, meaning that you can also use:

:,$ s/original/replace/g

To achieve the same result.

Answer 2

You already know the right terms, and have the right ideas... why don't you just consult the built-in help; it's really fantastic.

:help :range

or :help :s will lead you to :help [range] .
