I want to match the 2,3,4 part
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood. I think Tim has posted a good solution, but another option would be: /\S\@<=\s \S - Non space \@<= - Match with zero width if the \S is present \s\+ - The spaces (or tabs) that you're looking for. This will match any space characters that are preceded by something that isn't a space character. You can probably also do: \S\zs\s\+ Al --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
