[comp.editors] delimited strings in vi

afsipmh@cid.aes.doe.CA (Patrick Hertel) (06/04/90)

 Can someone tell me how I can do things like search and replace
on delimited characters such as in TXED where CD/the//a/* will
change "the" to "a" but not touch words like "them" or "there" etc.
in vi/ex/sed.
Pls e-mail thks.
