To find all files with a given name at any depth in the current
directory or below, you need neither perl nor a plugin. Nor any
particular external program, in fact. Just use
:vimgrep /\%1l/ **/filename.ext
It will generate a list of matches which you can open with
:copen
You can then jump to any match by hitting Enter on the appropriate line.
Or you can view all matching files in sequence by means of
:cnext
:cprev
:cfirst
:clast
(for next, previous, first and last match respectively, of course). See
":help quickfix.txt" for details. The idea of the vimgrep command above
is to match "the first line" of any file of the given name at any depth
(since we have to match "something" in the file's contents).
Best regards,
Tony.
