I saw :help netrw-star and read that text to understand that netrw can filter for files matching a pattern in a given directory.
But I cannot get it to work. I tried: :Explore ~/vimfiles/*.vim (nothing happens; no netrw window, no error message, nothing) :Explore $HOME/vimfiles/*.vim (same result; nothing happens) :Explore C:/Users/ben/vimfiles/*.vim (same result) :Explore /Users/ben/vimfiles/*.vim (same result) :Explore */~/vimfiles/*.vim (error message: **warning** (netrw) no files matched) :Explore */$HOME/vimfiles/*.vim (Netrw opens to the WRONG DIRECTORY, C:/Program Files/Vim/vim73/doc, showing all the .txt files therein) :Explore */C:/Users/ben/vimfiles/*.vim (error message: **warning** (netrw) no files matched) :Explore *//Users/ben/vimfiles/*.vim (C:/Program Files/vim/vim73/doc/arabic.txt opens with a statusline reading "Match 1 of 43"...I'm REALLY confused here) :Explore */Users/ben/vimfiles/*.vim (error message: **warning** (netrw) no files matched) What am I doing wrong here? How am I supposed to use patterns with netrw? And am I wrong about the filtering behavior? -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
