Hi,
The worst case that I have seen in vim, is the multiline regexp
with quotes in it. And it is even worse if I only want to match
the beginning quote. See example below:
$hello =~ s{
\"hello world
}{
hello
}gex;
Anyone have a solution for this? This really prevents me using
this nice perl feature.
Regards,
Shao.
