Let us say I have this plaintext file (no code) : ~ Robert is tall ~ Linda is a brunette ~ Dieter who lives in Berlin speaks English fluently ~ Robert is smaller than Linda ~ Dieter said : Speak you Deutsch ? ~ Linda is as blonde as Robert is dark, and, at 5ft 6, much taller than him etc…
NB : each line is tagged, thanks to a Dictionary (for example : Robert is tall @RN &Washington), and those tags are highlighted. In order to verify that there are no errors/contradictions in my text, what I wish is : 1) to "filter" patterns (e.g. Robert) 2) into a different full-page buffer (not in a window at the bottom of the screen), 3) where I can suppress the errors/contradictions 4) while keeping the highlightings The possibilities seem (for a learner) to be : a) * on the word Robert : satisfies partly 1), 3) and 4) but is not efficient with a long file b) :g/Robert/p : satisfies 1) but not 2) (window at the bottom) nor 4) ; as for 3), I do not know c) [I : same results as with :g/Robert/p d) :vimgrep /Robert/ %, then :copen : same results as with :g/Robert/p, with a new inconvenience : each line is populated with its own path (which is of course necessary when quickfixing multiple files) Is there a way to achieve what I wish ? -- View this message in context: http://vim.1045645.n5.nabble.com/How-to-filter-a-plaintext-pattern-in-a-separate-fullpage-buffer-to-work-on-it-separately-tp5711655.html Sent from the Vim - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
