Hi I recently moved from vim to emacs and need help to search and replace using line numbers(say between two lines 5 and 50). This can be done in vim as %5,50s/serah_term/replace_term/gc What is equivalent in emacs? Thanks, IluvindoI don't know whether you can explicitly restrict the replace-string function, but the simplest way to do what you want is with narrow-to-region.
From the doc string for replace-string in Emacs 22: In Transient Mark mode, if the mark is active, operate on the contents of the region. Otherwise, operate from point to the end of the buffer.So if region is visibly marked then the replace is only done in the region. (This is true if you use cua-mode for example.)
