in vim you position the cursor over a word, and hit '*' to jump to the next + highlite all matches. 'n'/'N' will move you to the next/previous match. I would like it even better though, sometimes I want to highlite several items in different colors, like keeping multiple active searches, each with a different highlite color. > And for free, it's worth every penny ;-) vim, even freeer. one of my favorite vim features, is the ability to pipe a selected portion ( or all ) of the text through an external program, and have it replace by the output of this program. when manipulating some piece of information, I often prefix it with '__DATA__' and a little bit of perl, starting with 'while (<DATA>)', and then pipe the whole contents of my current window through perl, with '!Gperl' so I can easily experiment with the data while keeping it in my editor. ( always fun to have a 'my XYZ is better'-type discussion. ) willem _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
