I'm using Vim 7 under WinXP, and the standard plugin "netrw" v98.
According to the help docs I can limit the directory browser display to files which match a pattern. For example, I should be able to set the pattern using <C-h>, provide a pattern such as ".*\.txt", and then hit <a> two times to cycle to "show only pattern-matching files". Yet no matter what pattern I provide it seems to never match any files, with "hide pattern files" not hiding anything, and "show pattern files" showing nothing. I've tried even simple patterns like ".*a.*", or "*a*" in case shell wildcards were being used, but nothing. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a bug. I notice someone else had trouble with this way back in http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=vim&m=114622007304244&w=2 but there were no replies...
