See the :grep command (:he :grep) in Vim. This command uses the 'grepprg' option to check what program to call. By default is 'grep -n'(See :he 'grepprg') You can always do something like: set grepprg+=-v :grep foo * Check :vimgrep command also. It uses Vim regular expressions and an internal search engine. (Slower but if you are familiar with Vim re, it's a good option) -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
