My plugin, SrchRplcHiGrp.vim - Search and Replace based on a highlight group *http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=848 <http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=848>* SR = Search and/or Replace This plugin defines some commands to allow you to: 1. Search for characters with a particular syntax highlight group 2. Search and replace characters with a particular syntax highlight group Allows you to choose the syntax group for comments and then perform searches that are either contained within that syntax group or outside of that syntax group. Have a quick look at that plugin page, there is an example at the bottom, where I specifically look for things that are NOT comments.
