thank you for your effort and reply.
Unfortunately none of your three suggestions work, even when tested
with
vim -U NONE -u NONE.
Please show us exactly what you tried, what you expected and what you
saw.
My guess is, that you used something like /\<.\{-}::
which does what you want, but matches twice, e.g.
mlg::some::else
^^^^^^ the second match here
^^^^^ the first match here
To clarify, in PERL the regular expression that does what I am looking
for is achieved by appending ? to the + operator:
perl -e 'my $s = "glm::something mlg::else"; $s =~ /(\S+?::)/; print
"$1\n";'
So my question can be made clearer
How to achieve the above PERL regular expression matching in Vim?
use the \{-} qualifier as shown. See :h non-greedy
Best,
Christian
