The first command specifies an address range (exe executes the result of the expression as an Ex command and not a normal command), while the second command actually performs a search in normal mode and by definition, the :? range looks on the previous line where pattern matches and does not consider the current line at all. > Where is this quirk documented and can it be disabled ? :h :range You can however either use the exe "norm! ?pat\<CR>" or use the search() function. regards, Christian -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
