I forget the details, but I sweated blood working out how to avoid getting stuck using match(), and came to the conclusion that two calls are required. I believe this code is correct, and it may be of interest. http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Copy_search_matches#GetMatches.28.29_alternative BTW my overflowing todo list includes that I will fix that tip. I have improved the code (which I use frequently), but even better is that newer Vims are able to use :s///n with a replacement expression to copy matches. The current tip has that technique, but it is absurdly convoluted because older Vims ignore the replacement expression if the n flag is used.
