Programatically executing a search and storing regular expression

2010-08-01 Thread Tim Johnson
Here is the snippet from from a function that I wrote:
function! StdNextFunction()
let fileType = ft
if fileType == 'taglist'
execute '/function'
execute ':nohls'
elseif fileType == 'php'
execute '/function '
execute ':nohls'

I bind this to gn
I press 
gn 
and I find the target string.
Then, I press
n
and I might get an error message that says:
No previous regular expression
OR 
I might find that a search for a previous regular expression has
been executed.
Question:
What do I need to add the the command strings above that
'stores' the regular expression?

thanks
