Just curious (I agree with you), but what are the s/ and /g for? Samsung and Google?

I think the OP is using the sed syntax [0] to say:

It is a `sed` command, used to replace (s/) all (/g) instances of the first word with the second.

Good tools support search and replace. Better tools support regular expressions.

It's how you do a text replacement in VIM, I believe it's s for substitute, /../ for the regular expression, and g for global, to substitute multiple instances.

Don't forget the % if you are using vim, to make sure you replace on all lines :)

That's the syntax for search on replace with sed on Linux.

“/s” stands for search and “/g” for “global” replace.
