@samp{bar}, not all of them, then you cannot use an ordinary
@code{replace-string}. Instead, use @kbd{M-%} (@code{query-replace}).
@samp{bar}, not all of them, use @kbd{M-%} (@code{query-replace}).
This command finds occurrences of @samp{foo} one by one, displays each
occurrence and asks you whether to replace it. Aside from querying,
@code{query-replace} works just like @code{replace-string}. It
preserves case, like @code{replace-string}, provided
