Subject: grep and regular expression
Hi,
I'm writing C++ code, I'm trying to search for all class declaration via the
following command:
:grep 'class\s*\w\+{' *.hpp
Vim does not use strict regular expressions and grep does not use regular
expressions for pattern matching.
The regular expression 'class\s*\w\+{' would have to match something like this:
class ALPHAJunk+{
which I don't think is representative of any class declaration I've seen.

does not use Perl's regular expressions?
Grep also uses regular expressions, BTW, although

I would have to defer to the regular expression experts, but
VIM does not use the standard regular expressions that work on
the command line, in say, Linux. Specifically, in the example
cited, '/s' was used for whitespace matching, which is not
available in standard regular expressions (c.f.
