Folding away based on a seach
HI All, I have a todo list of single line entries. I'd like to fold everything away apart from a custom seach, say :customsearch urgent would fold away all lines that did not contain urgent. Has this been done already in some way? If not, can I search, get the line numbers with results on, and do the math to fold away everything else? Ie, if lines 3 and 8 contain the term, mark 1-2, fold mark 4-7 fold mark 9-end fold Thanks for your help S

You can learn more at :help foldmethod :he foldexpr :he fold-expr (this abuses the fact that boolean-true is non-zero and boolean-false is zero which can be used as fold-levels) Gotta love the succinctness of vim. :) -tim

This is about the only way that I ever use folding in fact. Yours, Noah
