It’s sad to say I don’t use the vi search & replace enough to have it ingrained where it should be, so here’s to open documentation:

Adding the “how to” search for those who might need it:

Note: Search wraps around at end of file

To search STR forward: /STR
To search STR backwards: ?STR

To repeat the search: n
To repeat search in opposite direction: N ([SHIFT]-n)

Replace
Replace: Same as with sed, Replace OLD with NEW:

First occurrence on current line: :s/OLD/NEW
Globally (all) on current line: :s/OLD/NEW/g
Between two line numbers #,#: :#,#s/OLD/NEW/g
Every occurrence in file: :%s/OLD/NEW/g

Recently I needed to delete some pesky files that at some point managed to get created. The problem with these ‘pesky’ files is that they don’t have file-friendly names. One of the files was named “!” (no quotes), and another was “-20080605.log”

I know I could remove them by using the rm command prefixing the unacceptable characters with “\” but I also recall a method to remove files by their inode number.

For a refresher, a quick google gave me this resourceful site.

In summary:

1. Get the inode number of the file you want…

Output:

The inode number is 2396291.

2. Delete the file using the inode number found from step 1.
