It depends on what you mean by a buffer. The basic idea of using
:g should work, and there are a lot of different ways to use it. For
example,
:let @a = ""
:g/\<c\a*/let @a .= matchstr(getline("."), @/) . "\n"
will copy all words starting with "c" into the a register. You cna then
do
:new
:put a
if you want to put the text into a buffer. (Or use "ap in Normal mode.)
Problem: this only grabs the first pattern that appears on a line.
Solution: use the Pippo() function from foo.vim, my file of sample vim
functions:
