Or more strongly: By default, in most situations, \n will ALWAYS match the end of line, whether you are on Windows, Unix, or Mac. The regular expression match does not care what the physical representation of the line ending is, all it cares about is that there is a line ending. This will only be untrue, if your fileformat detection is somehow not working, either because of a defect in the file (mixed style line endings), a misconfigured fileformats option, deliberate bypassing of the fileformat detection, or because of editing a file with the 'binary' option set. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
