Given the following description in the docs "The global commands work by first scanning through the [range] lines and marking each line where a match occurs (for a multi-line pattern, only the start of the match matters). In a second scan the [cmd] is executed for each marked line with its line number prepended."
shouldn't this filter a buffer "g/some pattern/w! >> some_file.txt" to a new file, considering that ".w! >> some_file.txt" works? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
