seaching for selected multiline expression
Hello, I have a mapping which immediately searches for visually selected items. It achieves this by yanking the selected text and exec[utes] a search for the register content This works so far. vmap / y:execute /.escape(@,'[]/\.*')CR Now I tried this first time for multiline selects, but it does not work: Selecting this: USE ICCS_2005 GO leads to: - E486: Pattern not found: USE [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ To surround the error, I shortened the abbreviation to vmap / y:execute /.@CR, this causes the same error message. What is ^@ ? How can I have \n instead of thes ^@ - characters to make the search work? Thank You Joachim ### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
