Wait a minute. It occurs to me that you may know something I don't.
Are you saying that there is a way to do a four part compound search in
vim?
Nah, sorry. I was just alluding to the same thing suggested by jhriv and
kc, namely something like
grep ada sample.txt | grep bub | grep crc | grep dod
Is there some reason (perhaps just curiosity?) for talking about doing
it within vim?
Mainly getting context along with the match. But probably more that all
my recent usage of regex still has my neurons tingling. My use of grep
has settled a bit during my recent grappling with regex.
Why do you need context? Perhaps if you used line numbers you could go
and look in the original file to actually see where the lines came from.
So the above then becomes:
$ grep -n ada sample.txt | grep bub | grep crc | grep dod
Your final output will then have a line number at the start of each line.
