Thanks. I didn't use \w because "foobar" can contain special characters also - not limited to [0-9A-Za-z_] Apologies for not mentioning this important detail: I'm matching these patterns for syntax higlighting. Interestingly this pattern works in regular search but not for syntax matching. i.e. searching for "/\v\+\]@!\S+" correctly matches "+foobar" and doesn't match "+]" as specified. But specifying :syn match foobarGroup /\v\+\]@!\S+/ also seems to match "+]" I was surprised about the difference, sorry again for leaving out the detail in my earlier post - I didn't know it made a difference.
