Why do you have the while loop? searchpair() returns the line on which the paired item was found, 0 if it couldn't find a matching pair, or -1 if the skip expression caused an error while being evaluated. By using the while loop, you're not only discarding any match that you do find, but you're then causing Vim to search the entire buffer previous to the cursor position for any other match. That's likely the cause for the delay you're seeing. -- James GPG Key: 1024D/61326D40 2003-09-02 James Vega <[email protected]> -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
