I'm running into a little problem here: if I search for /\i\+\|$ it
works correctly if there's punctuation at the end of line, but if
there's a word and then EOL, the search goes to the next line. I tried
reversing them, using \n and \r, nothing helps.. -ak
For me this matches the last character on the line if it is not an
'isident' character, or the first one of one or more consecutive
'isident' characters anywhere on the line. If there is a word followed
immediately by EOL, it matches the start of that word. Isn't that what
you wanted?
IIUC, this won't match the last character of a line if it is part of a
2-or-more-letter word because in that case it is already part of a match
starting earlier in the line. Overlapping matches are not allowed. If
you want to match also the last character of a line separately even if
it is part of a longer word, you must forbid the "word match" to include
the last character on a line, for instance like this:
/\i\+\ze.\|$
which will match either one or more 'isident' characters *followed by
anything on the same line*, or the end of the line. In that case if the
line ends with, let's say, "word" (without the quotes) and no space or
punctuation after that, you will match wor as one match (cursor landing
on w), and then the end-of-line as another match (cursor landing on d).
Best regards,
Tony.
