Don's Pages

Task

Create a file called journal.txt with at least five instances of the word “todo.” Then, replace instances of the whole word “todo” with “TODO:”

Use :%s/\<todo\>/TODO:/g

• :%s → substitute across all lines

• < > → match whole word boundaries

• g → apply change globally on each line

💡 Bonus tip: If you want to confirm each replacement, use c at the end:

:%s/\<todo\>/TODO:/gc
