This will replace all the lines in [range] with the output of !grep. I don't think the OP wanted to DELETE the lines, just find them. The better way to invoke external grep for searching from Vim is with Vim's :grep command, which invokes 'grepprg' and then populates the quickfix list. 'grepprg' by default just uses grep. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
