You need a negative look-ahead assertion. I.e. a way to tell Vim, "match my pattern wherever this other pattern DOESN'T match after it". The way to do this is Vim is using \@!. But you also need to make sure not to match the stuff after the . with your pattern. I found an easy way to do this is just anchoring to word boundaries with \< and \>. So the final pattern is: \<\d\+\>\.\@! Maybe better using "very magic": \v<\d+>\.@! See :help /\@! -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
