Well, with modification, you can use a combination of :redir with either v_g_CTRL-G or the "n" flag to the :s command. It's not purely the number so you might have to do some post-processing on the result, but you can use :vnoremap <f2> :<home>redir @+<bar><end>s/\w\+//gn<bar>redir END<cr> This populates the "+ register with something like 28 matches on 3 lines -tim -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
