Thank you. I'm using it to help find information in my diary. Eg.: "For future reference ... X". The X is a keyword suggesting what the future reference pertains to. Now, I want to do the following :redir @m :g/future.*ref.*\n.*\n :redir END Alternatively, instead of redir, I can use [...]/y M at the end of the :g command. Alas, :g includes only the line matching "future.*ref". I want to capture the whole match. Is there a way to do that? -aw -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
