Thanks for your reply. I'm trying to write a vim plugin that checks trailing
comma for .js file, I'm using "match Error" when the buffer saves, but there
is another function in the plugin:
:vimgrep /the regex/ **/*.js

so there should be a regex to fit these 2 functions.

//Brs

The problem here is that there can be any number of lines between /* and */ -- for example, you might have /* at the start of line 1, then a copyright statement and license agreement (in lawyers' English with plenty of commas in it), then the closing */ on line 450; or the description of a function (in programmers' English this time, but again with plenty of commas in it), again occupying any number of lines with /* on the first of them and */ on the last.

I don't see how to search any number of lines backwards and forwards for /* and */ (aven assuming that you won't have such niceties as

        function(arg1, "/*", arg2, "*/", arg3)

where the commas around arg2 are *not* in a comment), unless your script can make good use of syntax functions such as synID(), synIDattr() and synIDtrans() (q.v.).


Best regards,
Tony.
